Hi guys long time no talk, i currently have a super low Z with stretched tires for about 2 months and im tired of scraping everywhere and bottoming out. To mention i have a hole in my Y pipe that i bought recently lol. The tires i have right now are 245 35 19 stretched ( They came with the wheels )and when i gas it in first gear i lose traction. Im raising my car and,looking in the market for replacing my tires on my after marketwheels (VARRESTOEN ES2 19x9.5 19x10.5 +30) Im currently running 25 spacers in the rear and 20 in the front. Ive bought 255 35 19 bridgestones off someone and hes also selling 285 40 19 ( He doesnt have 285 35 19 im looking for ) I was wondering if it would look good or not. Here are some pictures of my car right now. So the question pretty much is are the 285 40 19s going to look good or will they even fit. THANK YAAA

 

255/35-19 front and 285/35-19 rear is a good combo you may want to look into. A 285/40-19 is a bit to tall if a tire , an inch taller than stock.

 

285/35/19

This is 285/35/19 on 10" wheels. Looks great. I would even say I could put a 295 on, or a 305 if I wanted to push it a little.

 

I run 255/35/19 (9.5 wheels) & 285/35/19 (10.5 wheels) on stock suspension. I rub in the rear if I don't drive carefully so 285/40 may be overkill. Pics:

 

285/35 is what you NEED...I'd also look into smaller spacers

 

Width wise, no problem. Using the "1.2 Rule", a 10" wide wheel can safely fit up to a 12" tire (305 section width) so long as the aspect ratio keeps the overall diameter within reason. However, how it affects overall handling is the debatable part.

Don't forget, running that much tire out back without commensurate increase in the front leads to understeer and "cold tire syndrome" (depending on driving conditions of course).

EDIT: For OP's benefit... (and corroborating terrasmak's suggestion)
