Default Quik tire question

I currently have 275-35-19 potenza S03 and I want a larger tire so if I go 295-30-19 would the sidewall be that much smaller ?

We have lots of pot holes here in Montreal so I can't go too small.


Thanks !

without looking at tire rack I think the best fit other than what you have is a 305/30/19 because the 295 is a lil smaller. Im not sure but I might have that backwards so check them out. Stock diameter for rear is 26.8". Front is 25.8 So if I were to guess, I think VDC is happy as long as the Front/Rear bias is only 1" or maybe just near to those diameters.

Would a 305/30/19 fit on a G35 coupe with a 10.5 +26 ?

do I need to roll my fenders ?


Thanks !

That offset will make it real close. G3po has a G35 with SSR's and he has a 295/40/18 in the rear and he can go maybe 2 or 3 sizes larger. He has a ton of room, but i dont know the offset on those rims. Mine are +31 in the rear and I think mine will be very close.

I think I'll try 295/35/19 next and see if I have more room for a bigger size later on.

You mention two tires sizes. Do you know how to calculate the sidewall height of each?

I do but maybe using two different tire models wouldn't be the same,

I'm using the 275/35/19 S03's now and I want to try the 295/30/19 KDW's.
