I ran two more tire specs for that size and it comes up with 9" min. Regardless of what's the common wheel width, 9" seems to be the spec'd min. for that size.

Which is still wider than 8.5" of course.

Rear. 255/40/19

Tires that I'm asking about (rear)
275/30/19
Tire diameter (inches) =25.496062992125985
Tire section width (inches) =10.826771653543307
Tire sidewall (inches) = 3.248031496062992

it is a little smaller then front.

U think it's gonna make a big diff?

Your rear shouldn't even be the SAME size as your front, it should be significantly taller. Your previous setup is perfect, why change that?

That is a *short* tire. That's gonna knock your speedo out of whack by 4.6%. However, it will give you shorter gearing. With those tires, you'll have the equivalent final drive to that of the 07/08 sedan(3.69).

No but really, you should look into a 275/35/19 rear tire if you want to go that wide. I know there are plenty of people on this board that have put a 275 on the rear and haven't had any problems yet. I thought about going 275's but went 255/40 instead. If you do go with the 275/30's you may want to see if anyone can mount it w/o the TPMS getting in the way.

Let us know how the Vredestein's work, I am now having buyers remorse for getting the Falken FK452's over the Vredestein Sessenta.
