Hey all, i had so many questions and there was not one concrete answer on the tire sizing for OEM 19" rims, so i decided to go on my own and get what i wanted with manufacture specs, i went as BIG and as FAT as i could, without running the trouble of losing traction control or ABS, anyway here is the result:

245/35/19:





275/35/19:





rear stance view:




sorry for the crude pics, ill get some better up tomorrow or after finals, but i am SUPER SATISFIED!!!

Should have gone with 245 front and 255 rear at most.

 

Thats not within manufacturers specs

 

bfgoodrich right....i can tell cuz thats the same thread i have i think haha

 

whoops i changed it i have 245 in front, but according to discount tire, manufacture specs will allow this, i even had them call infiniti to make sure they would work, infiniti said this was the biggest i could go, which is exactly what i wanted.

 

i dig the look... i just thought it wasnt recomended to have 275 on a 8.5in rim. Im tempted to do it too.

 

Nice snow tires, i bet they will work great.

 

front is ok.. but 275 on the rear for oem rims... i dunno bout that.

 

damn, thats is sick. I didn't know its possible to put 275 on the rear wheels amazing take some more pictures.

 

yea more pics....funny i saw this thread i'm looking to replace all 4 tires. I've been searching and debating what size to go by the one's i've seen are 245/35/19 front and 255/40/19 rear which they say is the "best" set up. This is interesting.

 

Damn

275 on a stock rim

Let's see the side view of the rear tire

I want too see how much "tire lip" you got

 

On stock wheels (8.5" in back) 275/35/19 is too wide a cross section. 265/35/19 though not recommended by tire manufacturer's will be OK. As far as calling Infiniti, I don't think so.

I'm surprised Discount Tire would accept the liability for this. I know my local Discount Tire Store wont.

yes.. the TREAD is a BFG KDW tire...

 

they wouldnt mount my 275/35/19 on my rears at the dealership.. i bent a racinghart j8 with a 275 potenza runflat and tried to have them just swap the tire to a stock 19x8.5 rear rim and they told me and showed me it didnt fit at all..

think it all depends on brand of tire

 

It doesn't depend on the Brand of tire, it depends on the Size of tire. 275s - No-No on an 8.5" wheel
