I know nothing about tires and just wondering if I can replace my 265/35/19 with 255/35/19 tires and what the difference is?

Great. Thanks!

 

It's only a 10 mm difference. How wide are the wheels?

 

10"

 

Question why would you want to go smaller 255 and not go maybe a 285 on a 10 inch wheel?
whats the rear offset?

 

I don't know anything about wheels/tires. They're the grand touring rims and I saw a good deal on a pair of tires that are 255 and the bald ones I'm replacing are 265.

 

Ah i have the Nismo wheels same as the Grand Touring as you have ..
GO 285/35/19 my friend they will look amazing and definatly worth the extra bucks !!!!!! Ebay is your friend chck there you will get great deals on tires

 

Of course you can put 255 mm tires on 10.0 inch wheels. I wouldn't but you can.

 

OK....I don't really need a good deal if it's going to make a big difference ....what will the difference be with 285?

 

don't put 255/35/19s on the rear unless you are trying to go with the stretched tire look / dumped. your speedo will be off and / or your VDC will be off depending on what your front tire size is. People run 255/35/19s in the front of their cars, and 275/35/19 on the rear or 285/35/19.

 

The car looks more far more aggressive with the 285 rear not to mentions sits better on the road.. As far as handling the rear end does feel hella tight. The Michelin PS 2 on there may have something to do with that though

 

i got 275/35/19 on my nismo and i aint got nothing bad to say. go a little bigger and not smaller

 

did you notice that the question was asked two years ago?
