19" Wheel & Tire Discussion Thread
#901
Thanks for the advice, can someone verify what I'm thinking though, that is that the sidewall on the 275/30 is going to be damn near the same as the 245/35.. Shouldn't even be noticeable to the eye or have a negative effect on driveability.. I would just get a pair of 245/30's for the front, but I just bought the damn things last month
#902
Already ordered the 30's..The sidewall on the 275/30 should be damn near the same as the 245/35 from my understanding of calculating sidewall widths.. At least that's what I'm double checking (asking).

275*.30 = 82.50mm sidewall
You're correct in that the sidewalls are close, but Z's come with staggered tire diameters from the factory. So arranging identical front and rear tire diameters should not be your goal. For example the stock 225/45, 245/45 setup has an 18mm difference in diameter between the front and rear. The setup you posted only has a 6mm difference, and in your case it's in the opposite direction being that the rear is smaller than the front.

None-the-less... I think a 255/35 & 285/35 set-up would be the most ideal depending on wheel offsets.

Just because it's staggered doesn't mean the overall circumference is correct. Getting the rolling circumference as close to the OEM has been my goal as I want my speedometer and milage to be as accurate as possible.

None-the-less... OP to give you a better answer wheel sizes/offsets would help a lot. And again, with your newly acquired coil overs you'll have better adjustment to help with your rubbing issues.

I'm now running a 265/30 on my 9.5 and looking to go 275 when the current tires need replacement. https://www.facebook.com/AntiStretch FTW!

What is the make and model? Unlike the more expensive companies; HRE, ADV1, DPE etc., where you can order your specific offsets; most wheel companies only make certain sizes/offsets. Next resort is contacting the vendor you ordered them from. Last option is getting out the measuring tape.

I highly doubt you know what a neutral handling car feels like.

So got the coilovers installed, when I had the rims off I came across the following engraved on the back of the rim. 55DR 19 X 10J 41 not to sure if any of that translates into the offset. Looks good, I am rubbing somewhere on both rears, but by the time I got done, I really didn't feel like messing with the height adjustment. Going to take it in for an alignment today, I'll do it at the shop....

You mentioned on the previous page that you have PIAA L'uomo Terzo's. I believe you are actually referring to the PIAA Super Rozza, which say 'L'uomo Terzo design' on the center cap. Is that correct?
If so, then I believe the 19x10 size was only made in +25 offset. I had a set and I was running 275/35/19 Toyo T1-R's on them. They were pretty sunken-in, no chance of rubbing, even if I had a set of 285/35's on them:

And I might have missed where you said this, but the rubbing is happening in the rear or in the front?
If the offset of your wheel really is +41 (which I don't think is available in this particular design in 19x10 sizing), but if that's true, then the wheel could be sitting too far in thereby causing the tire to contact the strut, although this is a longshot scenario and I don't even know if it's possible with the OEM type coilovers.
