grand touring wheels with 305/30?
Hey guys, so I have the Grand Touring wheels 245/40/18 fronts and 265/35/19 rears.
Would it be safe to get 305/30/19 for the rears?

What is minimum width for a 305, and how wide is your wheel?

I believe he has 19x9 front and 19x10 rear (Grand Touring wheels). I have 285/35 tire on 19x10 wheel, and the tire is flush with the rim.
So 305 should be no problem considering the +30mm offset, you shouldn't have any issues with the tires rubbing. Like mentioned above, the tires will bulge out a little.
305mm = 12 inches.

I'm also 285 on a 19x10 and as you mentioned, the tire is flush with the wheel lip. I'm sure that I could safely run 305 on mine as well.

Never mind. I thought this was important. Important enough to say “thanks” or simply reply.
