Widest Tires on Stock 19's?

ChrisSlicks · 06-03-2009, 02:14 PM

I currently have 275 front 305 rear. The tread is wider but visually it doesn't appear to fill the wheel arch any more. The turn-in is precise and there is no swirming. Probably the only thing that gets worse is road noise and tramlining.

You're running 275 on 9" front and 305 on 10" rear? I'm surprised, but encouraged, by the fact that it rides well like that. I was a little bit concerned about putting 285's on my 10" fronts when the Forgestars get here, but now not so much

According to the manufacturer tire specs, the recommended rim width for 275mm is between 9-10", with the ideal being 9.5". For a 18x10" rim the perfect tire size is considered to be 285mm, could go 295mm but that would be overkill.

for reference, my old truck with a 295/30 tire on a 10" wide rear rim.
