Default Got the new wheels on

Got me a set of TE-37s 19x9.5 +22 all around with some Dunlop SP9000. Sorry for the crappy pic. As soon as I get my suspension installed I will take some more glamorous shots. Also little bit consern about my tire size. 265/30-19 rear, 245/35-19 front. The tire design makes the side look smaller. So I want to use the crap out of this before I change them. I'm wondering if I can fit 275/30-19 all around with this rims size on a different brand of tire. Don't want the staggered set up.

The fronts are livable, but you could go 255/35's. For the rears I go 275/35's. That should do you.

From the pic, the rear sidewall does look a little bit smaller in the rear. But so what? Run the hell out of them and then get new ones, the same all around like you said. But I think 265 all around might even be better, though. I'm getting 9.5" wide wheels also and am debating between 265/275 all around. I just don't think you would want that wide a tire to be up front.

Looks like an offroad vehicle. TE's are always a classic. Just needs some suspension and you're good to go.

Well don't want to use the front because it looks stretched out and the rims is sticking out further than the tire and I want to go the same size all around. I would like to go with 265/35-19 but is a hard to find size tire. I know Tire Rack carried them but there is not that much of a selection on that size, reason why I want 275s because they are every where. So should I go with 275/30-19 or 275/35-19 all around?

this might be a stupid question, but does a 265/30/19 tire have less treadwear than a 265/35/19?...or is the sidewall height just smaller and w/same tread?

If both are the same, I'd probably go for the 265/30/19 if running the same all around.

I would think the tread wear depends on the type/brand of tire. I want to steer away from 265/30 or 35 all together.

You need to run a 35 series rear tire. The 30 series sidewall is waaaayyy too small. Look at wheel diameter. You want to get as close to a 26.5" tall as you can in the rear. Those rear tires are probably 24" tall which is why they looks so small. If it was me I'd run 275/35/19's all around. You really should get that corrected asap.

Is there a reason why you got 19x9.5 all around instead of the staggered setup? Personally I think the staggered setup looks a lot better.

So it is set, 275/35-19. Going to use the crap out of this and replace them with a set of Toyos T1R.
