Default New wheel and tire set up help!!!!

ok guys I just got my new wheels. THey are 19x9.5-3 front and 19x11+0 rear. I really dont want to stretch the tires too much due to my power level and needing some meat but I dont want to have to pull the fenders much or anything. What size tires should I run? Thanks!

I think you've purchased wheels that require a stretch. My 19x10.5s with a spacer to net a +23 rubbed with a 305 tire without a fender roll. Yours sticks out over an entire inch more. I'm guessing a 265 tire for the rear, but that's just a guess. I know better how to stuff big tires versus squeeze small tires.

You will not fit meaty tires on stock fenders in the front with 19x9.5-3. You *might* be able to get away with a 275/35 on the rear with rolled flat or cut fenders and -3 degrees camber. If you're really in love with those wheels, I'd say get a set of wider front fenders and see if you can stuff a 255/30 under those. As for the rear, just roll + pull like everyone else if you want wider than 275/35 tires.

Poke around Rimtuck.com to see what other Z owners are squeezing on aggressive offsets.
