Was wondering if anyone knew if a 275/35/19 tire would fit on a rim that is 19x8. My local tire shop is trying to tell me that it will even though when I looked it up it says the smallest rim it will fit is a 9" wide. So I don't know what I should do because I do want the wider tire in the back, but all 4 rims are 19x8.

 

It will not work. maybe you can get a 255 on the rear, but i think that may be pushing it.

 

You might be able to get the tire on, but it's gonna bulge badly, and make it pretty insafe to drive on. Don't do it.

 

Both of the above replys are right on. Don't do it. I repeat Don't do it!

A 255/40/19 is only is only .3" taller than a 275/35, and should work. However, the 255/40/19s are recommended by the manufacturers to fit on a rim range of between 8.5" and 10", with the optimum size being 9". There will be some buldge, but it should work.

Yeah, Thats what I figured. So first thing I'm gonna do is find a new tire shop and get the right tires for the rim. Thanks guys....
