New wheels w/ aggressive offset......looking for tires
 
I'm dropped about an inch and I'm not looking for the super stretched look.

Wheels specs:

19's - 9.5 +12
19's - 10.5 +12


I'm thinking the 245/35 and 275/35 will look too stretched.........any thoughts?

:)

275 series on my previous rims (10.5 rear) looked a bit stretched. The 245 on the 9.5 rim looked good though.

The fronts will be a bit stretched. The rears not as much, but that's a normal size for 19x10.5 wheels. The other alternatives for the rear are 285/35 and 295/30.

Really? I think the 245/35 is more streched on the 19x9.5" wheel versus a 275/35 on a 19x10.5" wheel. :dunno:

weird. I had 19x9.5 and 19x10.5 RH J8's. With 245/35/19 and 275/35/19 and the rear definitely looked more stretched. That's why some people told me to go with 255/285.

a 245 is really stretched on a 9.5... it's stretched on a 8.5!

you need to lower your car more with that bodykit you have.

Well, from my personal experience with 245/275, the 245 just seemed worse. So my next set I got a 255/275 combo, which seems to fit a lot better.

I run that size with 265/30/19 front and 275/30/19 rear right now and am quite low. I wanted a more neutral feel so I went with similar sizes front and rear, although I have had both 245s and 255s on the front and all looked fine.

redlude97 01-16-2008 08:45 AM

255/35/19 and 285/35/19 will work with those offsets and good fender roll

Zilvia 01-16-2008 09:14 AM

the 245 will look good up front, but i would suggest 265 or 255 for the back if you wanna stretch.

my mom has 275 on 10.5 and it not much of a stretch.....but i guess it depends on how much stretch u want.

helldorado 01-16-2008 10:32 AM

The 245 will be stretched on 9.5. The 255 is a better fit and will give slightly more neutral handling.

The key is to consider tire choice too. I ran 255/275 with GS-D3's and they looked stretched. When I switched to PS2's, they had a much wider tread section and did not have the stretched look.

PS2's on the left, GS-D3's on the right. Same wheel, same 255/35/19 and 275/35/19 sizes.

Dude, hurry up and put it on. Remember, the sizes will vary by brand. I would just T1-R with 255/275.

Shush.....:icon17:

I should just go with the Toyo's......

Right now I'm considering the T1-R's, g-Force™ T/A KDW, and the F1's.......I tend to overthink everything....just like I did buying those wheels from you.:icon17:
