Exclamation Need help on the size of tires i should put on 19inch rims

Hi yall, i need help on the size of the tires i should get on my new Axis supermesh, it is 19x8.5 front and 19x9.5 rear and i was going to use 245/35/19 front n 275/30/19 rear, b/c David at 350zforums recommanded me, but after reading another thread posted by other memeber, he got the exact setup and already has problems on the first day, he has traction control problem and some other issue and i did not want my car to take the risk, so i need some advise from you guys , especially those who have 19 inch w/8.5 n 9.5 setup, i would like to know what is the common size of this setup and what you guys had, please post the size of tires and what kind of problem have you guys encounter after putting aftermarket rims, thanks

245/35 in front
275/35 in rear
corresponds to stock sizes the best for the rim widths youre running

Go here: http://www.dakota-truck.net/TIRECALC/tirecalc.html.

Putting 275/30 on the rear means the rear tires are .26" SMALLER in diameter than the front 245/35 tires. That's what is setting off the "slip" indicator. The larger (taller) tires need to be on the rear.

Is my car going to be higher after i put this 19inch? and also is it going to make the gap between looks bigger compare to the stock setup? thanks

the stock tires are 225/45/18 front and 245/45/18 rear so by going up to 19 you neen to go to 245/35/19 and 275/35/19 to keep the stager and the over all size of the tires the same as stock. yes your rims will be 1" taller but now your tires will be 1" shorter so th overall size stays the same

yeah, he told me that this setup will be the same size as the factory, i guess not after reading your thread, but it could be the tires not the size, anyways, thanks to your thread prevent me from repeating your problems, so did you get your problems result yet?
