Front should be fine. The rear may be tight, but should be ok. My 19x10.5 +28 rears with 305s are ok - maybe there is 5mm more of room before the fender lip. If not, you could roll them to get it.

Hey,
It doesn't look like you're going for the stretched look given your offsets, so I'll suggest you consider a slightly larger front tire, 265/30 to keep the VDC happy, or 265/35 if you don't care. You could go 275/30 also, but most don't like that size on the front. It would keep the VDC in check though.

scotts300, yes i'm not looking to be stretched, in fact i'm (a little) stretched right now 245/35 and 285/30. that's why i want to move up 10mm on width and adjust it to 255/35 and 295/30 instead so it fills up the fender gap. flush wheels and flush tires. you know? in my personal opinion i think stretch tires should only stick with drifter cars (for its purpose)

You still want a little bit of stretch. The more you stretch the tire, the less flex it has on the sidewalls and the more response you get in return. Tires like michelin have to be slightly stretched because the sidewalls are very soft. I ran 295/30/19 on my last set (rims are 9.5/10.5) and it felt like the car was walking sideways under moderate acceleration.

Different opinions for different folks. I believe what you are saying, however, I run a Michelin PS2 305/30/19 on our rear 19x10.5 and it feels comfortably planted. I autox'd this set-up a few times also, and was consistently fast because the car was stable. To each their own is certainly a fair statement.

Thanks! The guys in the aggressive wheel and tire thread don't agree!

Having just reviewed all the great pic's and comments on wheel size and off sets for this thread. Now my my head hurts and I am a little confused with the offset/rub issues experienced by some.

A couple of questions; I have 19x9f and 19x10r both with +25 offset. I want to run 255 on the fronts and 285 on the rears. Stock suspension, will I have rubbing issues. Hate to buy tires and find out that they don't fit.

Oh, i was just skimming for pics. I do that often in this thread

Bottom line is that it's your car. It's just a bonus that I think it looks great. Don't worry about them.

Those tire sizes should fit no problem given the wheel dimensions and offsets.
