Quick question before I order my Tires
I have a set of volk GTS 19x10.5 +17 all around. Wondering would I be ok with a 255/45 all around.

That sounds like a very odd tire size for those wheels. I think something like a 275/35 or 285/35 would look a lot better.

275/35 all around at least..that will fit well with +17 offset and not be to much of a stretch.

Are you sure you're running 10.5 +17 up front? If you want a square setup I would get 275/35 and if they don't clear the front do a 265/35 or something. 255/45 will be way too tall, you would want a 40 series or maybe 35 series in a 255.

10.5 inches is 267MM. So you'll need a tire that is 275 and up. 265 will be fine, but will stretch a bit.

Yea for a complete flush look, but i would rub with a 275 on a 10.5 in the front. Thats not happening so im going with a 255

You could have at least gotten a 275 in the rear though. Unless you're totally slammed and need a really stretched tire not to rub.

Agreed.
Plus, a 255 on a 10.5" wheel is going to look stretched. I see a set of spacers in the OP's future.
