What size of tires are you running?

So, my sf challenges are 19X9.5 and 19X10.5. Tires are 245/35/19 and 275/35/19. It sucks becuase they look like they're stretched on to the tires. I wish they were wider. What size are you running? I think I want to pull them off and get 255/35/19 and 285/30/19 or something similar.

my wheels are 19x8.5 and 19x10
so 245/35/19 and 275/35/19 look perfect.

yeah.. I dont know what to do. Maybe I'll just run these for a while then I'll get a 255/285 next time I get tires. I don't think it will be bad but they would look better.

I had 245/35/19 and 285/30/19 S03 combo before and the 285 on my 10.5 was straight with the lip of my rim. The 245 on a 9.5 was stretched. For 9.5 I would recommend 255 or 265 to be flushed. Also for the rear try 285 or 295 but keep with a 35 sidewall. 30 is too small and it will give huge wheel gap plus give incorrect speedo readings. Also what are your offsets? I don't want to be giving you bad info if your rims are maxxed on the offset to your fenders.
