Is anyone out there running 245/35R19 front and 285/35R19 rear? I've been running the 275/35R19 on the rear, but the Tire Rack is out of them in the pole position and I was wondering if anyone has run the 245 and 285 combo. Are there any problems? It says you should really match up 255's with 285's, but the 245 Potenza Pole Position is a pretty wide 245 to start with. Please let me know.

Thanks,

 

i run this set up with no problems!

 

me too. I love the wide tires!

 

I also run 245/35/19 and 285/35/19 without any problems. BTW, I have no understeer issues with my stagger and hotchkis sways regardless of people saying otherwise

 

Sweet guys, thanks a lot! I have the Pole Positions on the front, but the rears won't be Pole Positions, but oh well...same tread design. It's funny, my 275s look pretty good on the shoulders, but the inner tread is worn all the way down to the wear bars, which means they are legally bald. I was driving to work the other day in the rain and my car was so squirly because of that. When the Tire Rack says put your newest tires on the rear even on a front drive car, it's true. ha! Thanks for the input guys. Have a good weekend.

 

Would the same stand for 245/40/18 and 285/35/18. Fronts are 24/40/18 Toyos. I was planning on getting Nitto NT555R drag radials. But they do not make them in 275 in 18's. I was wondering if anyone was running a setup where the front tire was taller than the rear, and if this had any issues? Thanks.

 

Urgh nevermind.... I didn't think the combo would work, but I thought I would ask. But in doing some research, my suspicions were confirmed. Maybe I will just try 275/40/18 in front and 305/40/18 in the rear. Would it look wierd on 18" rims with front 9 " width +12, and rear 10. Or would it rub?

 

275 seems a bit wide for the front to me...but i could be wrong...never really seen it.

 

Ooops. Offset in front is +17 actually. Thanks for the input everyone. I am just wondering because I would like to only have to buy a rear set of drags. I don't want to spend cash on the fronts if the 245/40 or 275/40 would be able to used in the front.

 

my wheels are +22 offset. will i need to roll my fenders if i want a 285 rear and 255 front?

 

what is the width?

 

9.5" front 10.5" rear.

 

I ran those tire sizes with the same exact offset and you will have to roll your fenders. I test drove the car when I first put them on and didn't have any issues, but as soon as I had a passenger in the car, they rubbed.

 

^fat chick passenger?

 

That was fcking awesome

 

Hell no, I took my Dad for a spin and he's > 200lbs.

 

I've got 19x10 ET24 and the ended up rubbing!!! Dang it! it's really minor and it's actually hitting right where there is a groove in the sidewall styling so it's cutting into it a bit. I think I can fix it with about 1/2 to 3/4 degree more negative camber...if not, a slight fender roll is in store.
