295/35/19 tires on a 9.5" rim.

370zFORme!! · 02-23-2011, 02:06 PM

Hey guys, just wondering if anyone knows if I can fit 295/35/19 tires on a 9.5" rim in the rear. If not what would be the ideal size for the rears as my 275 look a little narrow for my taste. Thanks in advance!

on a 9.5" that will be a sloshing soft mess in the back.

Damn Ken you're on it! I just posted this Shiz!

. So you thinking like 285/35/19?

kenchan · 02-23-2011, 02:26 PM

lol.... 9.5" is pretty narrow to be running more than 265 imho. i mean you can run 285/35/19 but can't you find a wider wheel? 9.5" is more like our front's size.

I know when I bought my TSW's the largest rim they made was a 9.5" so I just went with a non-staggered 19 x 9.5" setup. Looking to maybe have the rears widened to 10.5" or 11". Not ready to purchase new wheels yet.

oh i see. yah give the 285's a try. you might like it. physically they will fit, but just saying it's going to be kinda soft vs using 10"+ wheels.

Ya I'm not really concerned about the feel cuz honestly I'd rather have it a little softer in the rear (no pun intended). My main concern is safety and whether or not the bead will make solid contact to the rim.

yah, check the tire spec at the manufacture's site. they usually have a min and max wheel width.
