I'm frickin stoked!!!! I need to find two front tires! I wonder what size... I don't think that guy had the right size one there. Do you still have the list of tires sizes and rims? I need to see what tires people put on the 19" 8.5 and 9.5

 

I have 245/35/19s on my fronts, and I have a 8.5 rim.

 

What's your rear tire size, Travis? I'm guessing you probably have either 265/35R19's or 275/35R19's on the rear. If this is the case, then 245/40R19's on the front should be a good match.

 

Really?!?! 245/35R19's are quite a bit smaller in diameter than the factory tires. What size are you running in the rear, Will?

The stock 225/50R18's have a rolling diameter of ~27", and depending on what kind of tire you have, a 245/35R19 is about 25.8", so at least an entire inch smaller in diameter. A 245/40R19 is about 26.8", so it would be a much closer match.

 

Current front tires are 245/35/19 and rear is 275/35/19... I wanted to make sure the tire sizes are correct. front is 19 x 8.5 and rear is 19 x 9.5

 

I had 8.5F and 9.5R.. ran T1Rs in 245/40 19 in the front and 275/35 19 in the rear. I think that's the closest you'll be to OEM sizes.

Anxious to see what your car's gonna look like. I'm jealous!

 

Those aren't "WRONG" sizes Travis. A lot of people run that set up for your diameter rims. It all depends on tire brands also.. b/c certain brands don't make certain sizes.

IMO your current set up should be fine. I wouldn't get new tires unless you really HAVE to due to the wear.

GL.

 

Ya, the guy jacked me.... there were in bags and just looks at rims, when I got home the side wall of the front was torn and need to be replace and he was an @$$ about it...still good deal I guess. I think I'm going to be some fronts and just mount :-) I'm getting too excited, first set of rims ever!

 

Since your replacing the rims anyway, then your defintely better off going with the 245/40R19's. They will match the overall rolling diameter of the stock tires the most closely and there will be no chance that they might throw off your ABS system.

 

I hav 275/35/19s in the rear

 

So, where are the pics, Travis!!!! We need pics!!

 

I want pics

 

Yes, my too, Will!!! He's got everything on now except the wheels, as he still needs to get some new front tires first. The car looks great, but I hardly got to see it all done before he left yesterday, so he needs to post up some pics for us all to see.

 

That set up is fine, i have the same sizes on my volks, theres plenty of sidewall to protect the rim just in case you rub against the curb+enough tire to protect the rim from getting bent when hitting potholes as well.

 

camera is broke!!! you said other were taking pictures, ask them

Trying to find tires now... I owe taxes which is whack!!! So hopefully won't prolong too much
