tires

Hi

I just order my 19's

I have 19x8.5 and 19x9.5

what size tires?

The supplier told me that I can use the 225/35/19 front and 235/35/19 for the rear so it looks like its strech? has anyone tried this?

Do anyone have pictures?

Thanks

BS - OEM is 245 on a 8.5 with some protection

the smallest for a 9.5 is a 255 tire with no protection

i doubt that a 235 tire can be stretched on a 9.5 wheel
and 8.5 - 235 is the smallest i believe

that's some stupid **** that your supplier gave you. kickr has it right.

you should order 235/35/19 for the front and 265/30/19 for the rear (or if you're cautious and are scared of rubbing 255/30/19).

what wheels did you get?
