can someone help me with tire fitment?

res0zsfa · 05-11-2010, 10:24 PM

Hey guys, I'm due to get forgestar f14 rims mid june, and I was wondering what tire sizes are best suitable for 19x9 front and 19x10 rear. I kno that's the same specs as stock rims, but I want wider tires.
I've been thinking of 255 front and 285 rear. Someone told me 255front and 295 rear is a bad combo cuz of something with the sidewall... oh and btw I don't want any tires 305 or wider.
So the question is,
-245 front 285 rear
-255 front 285 rear
-255 front 295 rear
-265 front 295 rear
Any hlp is appreciated. Thanks

I plan to go
Front:255/40R19
Rear: 285/35R19

295/35 is fine too, although u might get some bulge not sure.

nismo size is perfect, 245/40 and 285/35. I have those sizes on a 9.5 and 10.5

I would go a bit wider than stock, seeing as your rims are insanely aggressive. I'd say 255 in the front, 285 rear. That's the setup I plan to switch to after I go through my Hankook's (I have 19x9 and 19x10 Advans)

Depending on the tire, you might have trouble finding the stock side wall height of 35. So, the gap between the lower profile tires of say a 295/30 and the fender will be greater, so it might look a little funny if you don't have a drop. Other than that, I see no problem with getting a 295.

I put F14's on tonight, 9's and 11's, with 255/35's and 295/30's.
