Tire fit on 19" TE37 Front 8,5 / Rear 9,5
 
Hey!

I can't find this thread anywhere so here goes...

I just got new TE37's +22 19" 8,5 front and 9,5 back...

What kind of tires should I fit onto them? I don't want them to be stretched, and not a lot over the side, so standard fit...?

THX for your help!

probably 255s in the front, 275s in the back

Hehe, I get a different answer everywhere =]

what about height/width ratio?

I'm newbie in wheel/tire deal,... I used the original 245/45/18 Potenza till now... Should the height of the tyre... from the axis be the same as 18, I don't wanna heighten my ride, so same or a bit less, am I right?

Correct me if I'm wrong but... I need 255/35/19 and 275/35/19 for the same height of the car as it is now on 225/45/19 and 245/45/19.

Oh come on give me something challenging to work with. Like

front 20x11 and

rear 17x6. That would be cool.

This 19x8.5 and 19x9.5 is child's play. Been done a hundred times.

Correct. Maintain the same overall tire height. Width is variable.

thats pretty much standard on this site..why is it so hard to find sizes that fit on 8.5, 9.5

do 255/35/19 front and 275/35/19 back

Chebosto 07-28-2009 03:35 PM

you can do 245/35/19, 275/35/19 and it will be fine.

no it will be fine, its one of the more common setups.

Is there a downside if I put 255/275?

I mean, I think wide wheels look great on sport cars, but is there a disadvantage of a wide wheel? Except weight, handling, gas millage...?

Ok 245-255 is nothing... But a difference between stock 225 and 255, should be felt?

Generally speaking, wider tires/wheels do sh*t poor in the rain as well.

I had the same offset/sizes on my Z. I ran 245/35/19 and 275/35/19. Then changed to 255/35/19 and kept the 275/35/19. It was lowered quite a bit, and never a problem. There wasn't much room for more width. No VDC issue.

Here it is with the 245/275 combo:
