What is your opinion for tire sizing of a 9.5" wide front with +20 offset using a 265/30/19 and 10.5" rear with a +15 offset using a 275/35/19?

Would it be preferable to have a slightly more narrow tire up front?

 

The front is way shorter than the rear and too wide.

go 245/35 front and 275/30 rear OR 245/35 front and 275/35 rear OR 245/40 front and 275/35 rear.

 

+1,

 

265's in the front are fine - that's what I run. Gets rid of some of the G's inherent understeer as well.

You could also go with 255/35/19 front, and 275/35/19 back.

 

In my opinion 265 is not enough for the front, 285 is much better (coming from someone with a 285/305 combo)! I would look into doing 255/35/19 and 285/35/19 (26-in diameter and 26.9-in diameter). The 255/285 combo is a much easier tire to source and the sizes are very friendly with each other and the traction control.

 

I'm looking at getting the Hankook Ventus V12 Evo which fortunately come in a variety of sizes.

My increased sizes were based off of Redline's size suggestion in the OEM19s Tire thread. For references, the sizes there were: 245/35/19 (F) and 255/40/19 (R)

Thanks for the suggestions guys.

 

^ 255 is actually more money than both 245 and 265 and a lot of companies don't carry a 255 so I don't know why you're saying it's easier to source.

Preference though I guess.

He suggested that for a 8.5" rear not a 9.5" or 10.5"

 

The hankook 255/35 isnt too spendy and from what I recall was fairly common. Unless you're talking about the 255/40?

I still think the 255/35 and 285/35 is a good sweet spot between going stretched and going fat tire with those widths and offsets.

 

255s are rare in every profile. They are just and oddball size, barely anyone stocks them so they always need to be ordered.

 

Using the sizes he recommended, I proportionally bumped them up. Using the tire calculator found on 1010tires.com, they came to be less than 2% different from what he suggested in terms of diameter.

I was just considering wider tires and was hoping to keep things proportional while reducing some understeer. Additionally, I was only using sizes I saw available on Tirerack. Whether those are stocked regularly, I do not know. But I just checking their availability, both 255 widths are in stock.

Perhaps my thinking is off. Thanks for the suggestions guys.
