New Volk GT-F's Need Help w Tire Sizing
 

Ok so I just got Volk GT-F's and they are 19x9.5 +14 Front and 19x10.5 +17 rear. The front tires are 225/35/19 and the rear tires are 245/35/19. My car has no suspension mods so im wondering if i will need to roll my fenders, use wheel spacers, or get suspension mods to use this setup. I dont want the wheels rubbing on the inside of the wheel well on a turn or anything. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank You.

Holy stretched tires batman! Why buy such skinny tires with fairly conservative offsets?

geez, im pretty sure youll be fine. My stock Rays I believe are 18's in the front with 19x10 in the rear with Vredestein 245 and 275's (check description). I recommend these tires highly, they are UHP and pretty damn cheap.

255/35/19 front and 275/35/19 rear are very close to STOCK overall diameters and they will fit those rim widths very well. Current tires are WAY too stretched and the side walls will give you a brutal...harsh ride!

Ya i know the tires are stretched. I bought them like this. But once I can im putting 245/35/19 on the front and 285/30/19 on the rears so its a better fitment and a proper one. Do you think that size will be ok or will I need to go with spacers then?

245/35 is doable up front (still harsh ride) , but I still think 275/35 is a better choice than 285/30 in the rear. Side wall there is zip (harsh) and you don't maintain stock stagger either, so if you have VDC, you may get it cutting in on you.

If you want to run a 285/30 rear, run a 265/30 up front.

No spacers are needed, but why did you go with such a stretched setup?

Are you planning on adding suspension mods, otherwise I don't really see the point and you should think about selling the tires and getting what has been stated above.

See this thread for reference:

Here is the post with tire info:

I have 225/18/35 on a 9inch rim and 245/18/35 on a 10inch rim offsets are 20. I am lowered 1 inch, and did not need to roll the fenders, they fit PERFECTLY in there (enough space for me to put my pinky only). So yours may need a fender roll.

dude, I had 19x11 +17 with 285/35/19 tires and was fine with a roll. Sell those front tires, put those rear tires on the front wheels and get new rear tires.

I didnt choose to go with the stretched setup its how i bought them off this forum. I dont like stretched tires which is why id be swapping the front off and selling them. Put the rears up front and getting new rear tires.

Ya i have TCS on mine which is why im concerned about tire sizes.

Attaboy :thumbup:

So do you recommend 275/35/19 or 285/30/19 on the rears?

285/30 is to short and will cause TCS problems with 245/35 up front. Also it will be less stagger between front and rear, that will give you better handling.

I see what you did there...

:werd:

285-35 as stated would work just fine.

;)

Thank you everyone for all the help

I have 245/35 and 275/35 with similar wheel sizes. Wish I had 255/35 and 285/35.

I would like to have the same wheel setup but 285/35 for my rear wouldnt work because I have TCS and the diameter change is over 3% so my TCS will randomly kick in because it will think the tires are slipping. Only thing in the 285 range that would work on my car is 285/30
