Here's the deal...

I just bought a set of 255/40/19 Eagle F1 GS-D3's for my rear tires. I have since then decided to buy a set for the front too. However they do not make a 235/40/19. Only a 245/40/19 and a 235/35/19. My front wheels are only 8" so I'm not sure the 245 will fit on them very well. I am also worried about picking the wrong size and having a problem with VDC.

Any ideas? Please help!

What width tire does the wheel manufacture recommend?

Use this calculator to check the overall tire height: http://www.dakota-truck.net/TIRECALC/tirecalc.html

 

I have the OEM G 19"s. That calculator says I will have a 2" difference in the circumference from the stock 225/40/19 if I were to go with 245/40/19. I'm guessing VDC is going to have a big problem with that.

Should I go with a 235/35/19? It seems that would be closest to the 225/40/19 I have on there now. I used this calculator. http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html
