will 255/35&285/35 fit?

I ordered tires, & the size I wanted are backordered. So I was wondering if I could order 255/35/19 and 285/35/19 for my +22 offset LE37VOLKs, and put them on with no rubbing.BY the way, I have Eibachs.Anyone get bigger tires than 245/35&275/35 for their 19"s?

It should work, but I don't think you'll be able to find those sizes. Have you looked at Dunlop SP9000s in 245/35 and 275/35. I have them in 18" on my Nismos, and they are a great tire.

Those sizes will fit. The only company that I know of that sells the 255 though is Falken. I was once contemplating getting that set up in 20's but changed my mind. Either way it will work.

Just note that the 245 is better for the sake of a more accurate speedometer. At those sizes you will be reading 3.2% slower then your speedometer. If you go with a 30 in a rear it will be closer but will be 1.1% too fast. 245/35 and 285/30 is your best set up.

I think they are very good quality. Falkens are very good.

I was looking into the same exact thing and I found that having 245/35/19 for front and 275/35/19 for the back. You can even use 285/35/19 for the back............seems like these tire sizes for 19" rims were the closest thing to the stock speedometer settings without being way off. Check it out for yourself. http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html
