I did a search and couldn't come up with anything...

What is the widest recommended tire for an 19x8.5" rim? I was considering 265/35/19's but thought that might be stretching it (pun intended).

Thanks!

 

Ive got a 275/30 on my 8.5 its fine.

 

I've seen 255/40R19 on tirerack that are completely acceptable <clicky>. And I've seen people stretch 275/35R19 on their rears.

Nice screen name BTW.

 

Thanks for the quick replies!

Hotness, I assume you have your fenders rolled, right?

 

I have 245/40R19...not huge, but pretty big.

 

Thats the stock size on the coupe rears. I can't wait untill I wear the stockies out so I can go plus one on the rear and plus 2 on the front!

 

I'm currently have 245/35/19 F & R on 19x8 Privat Netz's (which maybe be up for sale soon) . I'm getting 19" coupe rims which are 19x8F and 19x8.5R. I'll most likely have the fenders rolled to accomodate larger tires in the back.

I don't think the offset on the coupe rims should pose a problem, right?

 

No I do not have them rolled. The offset of my rims let me get by without rolling them.. I just took off my rear Spacers and they fit fine. But thats my Situation. Idk why but i took some pics to show that their is little bulge, but also some tires run bulgy like Bridgestone. So IDK how helpful this post is.


Now that i look at this i may need to roll my fenders

 

Thanks man. BTW, I saw the photoshoot you posted a while back...sweet sedan dude.

 

Jebus, 'bout time to get a new set of rubbers don't you think?

 

Yea I dont know how usefull thoses pics are but im bored.

Thanks, its been awhile sense ive done anything to my car. Im thinking the mod bug is going to be kicking in real soon in the HP department .

Yea im getting some new rears put on this Saturday.

 

how about widest tires for the stock 17's ? stock tires are 215/55 17 i think.

It would be nice to get some wide tires with the same overall diameter.

 

nice slicks

 

245 is the best size for an 8.5 IMO. It is nice and square in shape. A 275 looks good on a 9-9.5".

 

It all depends on what profile tire you go with
