Default need some help on tires

whats up guys, i recently bought LM's in a size of 19" 8.5/10.5 +22.

AND

im looking for some tires. do you think id be ok with a 275/35/19? before i get tires, im buying coil overs cuz the car will be lowered. and i just got my fenders rolled too.

so you guys think thats a good tire size? i do like the stretched look, but i also want some decent rubber in the rears you know? thanks

275 on a 8.5 will bulge and a 275 on a 10.5 will stretch. Plus.. the front size should be 275/30/19.

my bad, im just talking about the back when it comes to the 275...275 would look retarded on fronts haha.

my worries is just questioning the back really, cuz of the fender rolling, and dropping the car u know? would a 275/35/19 look nice?

it'll look fine...but it also depends on the tire. all tires are different...some sizes are actually wider than other brands or types...example a Dunlop Direzza DZ101 275/30/19 measures differently than a Dunlop Sport Maxx 275/30/19.

ya dude i got the sport maxx right now on the stock track wheel. 245/45/18.

but i dont care about tread life. that all depends on how u drive, and illl be honest, i daily rip the 1st, 2nd, to 3rd gear every day... so i may just go with some cheap khumo's.theyre like 185 each tire @ 275's.

Go with 285/35 or 295/30 in the rear, since it's a 10.5" wide rear and +22 is a conservative offset. 245/35 in the front, since it's only an 8.5" wheel up there.
