Custom Wheel, What size tire?

osbornsm · 01-03-2014, 10:01 AM

Hello All,

I have Forgestar's on order and need to know what tire size should be put on these wheels to NOT have any stretch.

I was thinking the following:
- 19x9.5 = 255/35/19
- 19x11 = 305/30/19

Tire rack has them at nearly the same height / diameter so as to not confuse traction control.

Thoughts on these size tires for these wheels??

what's the offset of the rims?.

But sure, I think they should be OK.

Put some 275 up front if you go with 305 rears

God, it's so nice to see someone who doesn't want to stretch tires. I was so afraid this thread was going to be another tard trying to put a 215 on a 10+ inch wheel. Bravo, sir.

255 or 265 up front and I wouldn't go less than 285 in the rear. The 255/305 combo will work I just don't like that much offset between the front and rear. Note 285 on an 11 inch wheel will have a very mild stretch.

i dont know about the rear, but here's a pict of 255/35/19 on 19x9.5 Bridgestone S04.

there is slight stretch but not much.

might even recommend going 275/35/19 on the front if you want absolutely no stretch.

sidewalls also differ by manufacturer and their model's design.
like the yok advans have barely any stretch with 245/40/19 and 285/35/19 on the nismo 19x9.5 and 19x10.5

on the contrary, the continental DW's have a rounder shoulder so even with the same size, they appear stretched.

Maybe this will help. I have 255/35/19 and 285/35/19 on mine.

Will 315's fit on the rear? Go as wide as you can for an 11" rim.
