Maximum rim and tyre sizes

infotechplus · Posted: Mon Apr 07, 2008 11:25 am Post subject: Maximum rim and tyre sizes

Anyone on here running 9" rear rims: What size tyre are you using?

I've been offered 275/40R19 for the rear but I'm thinking that's a bit too wide for my liking.

i am running 18x9.5 rears. tyres are 265 wide. i think it looks good (on the rear anyway)

I'm running 9.5's and 265/30/19's and the rim face and the tyre wall are perfectly flush.

275/40 would also put your rolling diameter out by a bit....

i actually think 275/40 will be a better option than 265/30 (or 35). it will definitely put the rolling diameter out but will help fill up these guards.

Thanks everyone. Very Happy

This is a great little calculator that tells you what effects various tyre sizes will have on your speedo reading etc.

For a standard 225/55R16 tyre, the best fit (ie. minimise speedo calibration differences) on a 19 inch rim is 245/35R19 but you can go plus/minus 2.5% so in a 19 inch rim with a 40 series tyre the best fit would be no larger than 235 but, of course, all these fits are subject to other factors eg. rim width and suspension setup.

I think a 255 or 265/40R19 would be an ideal fit keeping in mind the speedo. I drive by the GPS anyway as even the standard wheel/tyre combo is out about 3-5%. For example, 50 on the speedo is abot 45/46 on the GPS readout.

19x9.5 rears on my car, with a 245/35 tire stretched over it, it tucks under the guard with no worries, 15p offset though, which probably helps... not oo stretched either... but yeah you dont want tour misses to do any kerb hugging with this sorta setup.

infotechplus · Posted: Mon Apr 14, 2008 6:27 am Post subject: Wheels & Tyres

All sorted now.

19 x 8 on the front with Michelin Pilots 225/40 x 19 (37 offset) and
19 x 9 on the back with Bridgestone RE050As 245/40 x 19 (35 offset).

All sit nicely in the wheel well and no rubbing on full lock. Wound the TEINs up two threads but probably could have got away with 1/2 to 1 turn.

hell yeah, with narrow rims liek that, you should have no trouble slamming it. thought that offset is a little bit too much IMHO, but otherwise it would be good to see some pics. Narrow tires too = easy skids... them tires arent gonna last long Very Happy
