It'll be fine on the inside, may need a little pull up front.

What Tire Size Do you Recommend?

I have an 2007 Coupe. Not lowered and no spacers looking for some tires for my

F: 19 x 9.5, +16
R: 19 x 10, +4

They came with 245/35 and 275/30. Time for new tires and looking for a different setup. What do you guys recommend? Keep in mind this is my daily driver.

the tires that were already on them are just fine to get again man....however you could probably go with a 265/35 instead in the rears

or you could jump down to that too haha but i was suggesting the 265/35 because he's at stock height so having stretch without drop looks dumb....

although it is a technical stretch, to the normal eye, it doesn't look weird. 245/35 on 9.5 and 275/35 on a 10.5 are the same idea.

so going down from a 10.5 to a 10 would make a 275/35 to a 255/35???? i wouldn't think you'd jump that far

Drew, you're right that it isn't the same in that instance, but I said 255 for two other reasons.

the first being it's the same as a 245 on 9.5. and second, 255/35 is much much more popular tire size for companies to make than 265/35.

I only mentioned the 245 and 275 examples to imply 255 on 10 isn't a big enough stretch that it would look retarded on stock height.

You're probably calculating overall difference from OEM sizes (being 215/55/17 or whatever the sedan had stock)
