225 is max on a 7.5 width rim

225/60 check with a tire calculator so see how much it throws you off

I have 225/35/19 in the front and 265/30/19 in the rear. The previous owner didn't have tpms sensors in them and drove ~ 500 miles on tires, Nitto 555 Extreme. I was wondering if I put tpms in them, will it be okay to run on them?

I plan on going tomorrow to get my rears changed out on my car and I am running the stock setup right now as far as tire sizes go....

If I left the fronts alone for right now and went ahead and changed up the rear should I go with the 255/40/19 or 255/35/19...im not lowered right now but plan on throwing on some springs..I have 25mm spacers front and 30mm spacers rear. I would like to wider on the rear tire but want to stay within the safety net....with that being said I am needing to replace the fronts as well so would be okay to go with a 245/40/19?

Need some answers to tire combos (tried to read most of this thread until I just got a huge headace from seeing all of the different tire combos being thrown out there lol).

I currently have G37 rims on my G35 coupe, and I'm dropped on S-tech. The fronts are 225/45/19 and the rears are 245/40/19 (stock size tires for both front and rear G37 rims).

*Fronts are 19x8.5 Offset +43
*Rears are 19x9 Offset +45

Now, the problem I' am having are my front tires are tucked under the car and rub, the rears are fine and there are no issues there. In a week or so I'll be ordering new tires and I need find a tire size that will allow clearance with the drop I have as well as keep the vdc happy. I'm sort of a noob when it comes to tires so any help would be appreciated.

Would me going with a F: 225/40/19 and a R: 245/40/19 clear this up or would I need to go with a taller tire in the rear and a shorter one in the front?

Also, I have 20mm spacers in the front and 25mm in the rear, so if I were to go with a wider tire would there be some rules I would have to follow? I just basically want to get a tire that's going to fit properly without and issues.

you have the setup I wanted to go but I just never went through with it.

245/35F
275/35R
add 15mm spacer front
20mm spacer Rear for conservative look. more aggressive will be 20-25 or 25-30 and fender roll.

best option I would have gone with was 15 front 25 Rear

Hey Chris,
Did you go with 255 or 265 in the rear?
