I just put wheels on my 350 and had a question about the tires i put on the wheels. The rears are 19x9.5 and i put 275/30/19 falken tires on them. My question is about the wheel sticking out slightly? I dont know if i should have put a wider tire or what... Thanks for your help

let me guess...you have a 245-35-19 front tire? I know its not your original question...but Ill say it again. If its a 245-35-19 your rear tire is now SHORTER than the front tire. Thats not good.

275 is a good and approved fitment for a 9.5" rim. If you have 245-35-19 up front I recommend a 275 or 285-35-19 tire for the rear

So my rear tire isnt as tall as the fronts, and thats not a good thing. I wish i went with a 280 or 285 on the rear, and now i should have went with a 35 also. What should i do? I have put 105 miles on them?

park the car and don't drive it at all, its very dangerous!!!!!!!


Seriously though, you probably won't notice any problems. I think lots of people have this setup and don't have problems, but it IS incorrect and the VDC and ABS may not function optimally. Todd is right, you need a 275/35 or 285/35 to keep the factory stagger.

Your rear tires are now .3" shorter than the front.

I see you are in Georgia. Might I suggest discount tire at discover mills for future tire stuff. The manager is Doug and he takes great care of me there. They can change a 19 and actually not damage the rim too!

Thanks a lot for the information. If i ever do need any tire and wheel work done ill go their. So you wouldnt worry about the tires? Or that my rear wheel kinda sticks out from the side of the tire?
