hey guys as u may already know my question has to do with tires and tire sizes. i just bought a temporary rim set for $200 they are 19's 8" front and 9.5" rear with +20 offset. im getting (2) Nitto NT05's for the back 275/35/19 since they dont have /40/ unfortunately. for the front i will be getting some regular tires now my quesion is: Do i have to get /35/ in the front also or would it be okay to get /40/ ? would the difference in tire thickness be noticable? i originally didnt wanna go such low pro due to ride comfort. will it be greatly impacted now you think? any opinions/suggestions/advice?

 

really? not even an opinion? let me ask this, does anyone here run 275/35/19's ? is it a rough ride? does it make a noticable difference in appearence if i go /35/ in the rear and /40/ front?

 

245/35/19, this will keep as close to stock diameter as possible

 

no offense but i dont think that answered any of my questions.. but thx all im asking is how the car feels running low pro on 19" and if there is a noticable thickness difference in getting 225/40/19 F and 275/35/19 R

 

Gone from 50 to 40 to 35 and yes you can feel the difference in the ride...less space between the rim and the road= more road noise

as for those $200 temp rims you baught with 35profile tires you better becareful on the raod...Those rims will probably shatter if you hit a bump or pothole lol.

 

i kinda figured that 35 tires would impact ride comfort greatly..darn oh well imma just have to try and c how it feels. is it that noticably worse..?
they didnt come with tires. which is why im looking for a pair and as far as the rim is concerned they are brand new in the box tsw something something...
here is a pic:



obviously they arent as good quality as VOLKS but hey, they are normally $600 but i got them hooked up for a fraction of that price.

 

There are plenty of tire brands who make a 245-35-19 tire.

Why are you so insistent on running a 40 series? 40 series won't make much of a difference in comfortability, but they may look awkward.

 

im not running 245s. i have 225s front and 275 rear.

reason being is because i am running NT05's in the back and they dont make any other size larger than 275/35/19 since i am running 35 in the rear i was hoping to at least get some bigger tires in the front to have a bit softer ride (40s) its only a 5mm difference isnt it? but then again i guess i should just go 35 all around since it doesnt make a big difference and does look nicer if kept the same all around

 

Im lost....

^ that post hurt my head. stick with 35's doode.

 

No, that is the aspect ratio of the difference between the widths of the tires to the height of the tires. It is not a measurement of MM.

Visit a tire calculator to get a better idea in the differences in sizing:
