275/30/19 on a 8.5 wheel?

275/30/19 on a 8.5 M35/45 Wheel!

Good Idea?
Bad Idea?

Why?


I don't care about the weight!


I know some of you tried 275 on coupe 19inch wheel

Any feedbacks?

overall diameter is much shorter than stock. At the very least you should run a 275/35/19, which I still don't recommend on any rim narrower than 9.5"

Actually on the Conti, a 275-30-19 is okay for a 9" but it's probably asthetics that's getting you to the 9.5" I assume.

Very few wheels come in 9" anyways, 9.5" is usually the most commonly quoted minimum width for a 275

Here is my current setup.

Front. 245/35/19
Tire diameter (inches) =25.751968503937007
Tire section width (inches) =9.645669291338583
Tire sidewall (inches) = 3.375984251968504

Rear. 255/40/19
Tire diameter (inches) =27.031496062992126
Tire section width (inches) =10.039370078740157
Tire sidewall (inches) = 4.015748031496063


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?
