I had Discount tire put my 19" Blizzaks on for the Winter, and now that I'm looking at them I'm afraid they may have put the 245's on the front wheels and the 225's on the rears. The fronts look stretched and the rears do not look stretched at all. What's the easiest way to tell?

TIA

 

That sucks. I am sure someone on here has the answer. I am curious too.

 

Look on the back of the rim near the lug holes.. it should have all the info on the rims..

 

Fronts are 8" wide, rears are 8.5".

 

hahaha omg how would the tire installer not know!?

 

I realize that, but how am I supposed to measure with the tires on there?

Should the 225's in the front look much more stretched than the 245's in the rear? I'm assuming they should look the same, which is why I think they f'd up. I even marked on the tires which one went where, and told the guy. Idiots...

 

Did u look on the back of the rim??

 

on the back of the spokes it will say 19x8 or 19x8.5. the 8.5 is the rear

 

Nope, I'll have to wait until I get home later tonight. I was hoping I wouldn't have to take a wheel off, but I guess that's what I'll have to do to confirm it.

 

lol sucks to hear, but i don't think there's a way without taking the wheel off.

 

in for results.

 

Just take it back to them and have them check.
The oem 19's scratch so easy.
I took my wheels off myself numerous times for spacers and wasn't careful enough.
Now the lugnut holes are all scratched up.

 

Update:

I took one of the rear wheels off last night and it was an 8.5" width. So it looks like they actually got it right, and I was just being paranoid. I just thought it was weird how the front tires looked stretched and the rears do not, but oh well.

Thanks for the help guys.

 

225s do look a little stretched on the 8" wide rim; IMO doesn't match the stock 245 rear width very well, which is why I went 245 front and 255 rear.

 

what do the tires read front and back? 225F 245R?
