Hey guys, I'm getting 19x8.5 front and back wheels.

What's the most I can go with the tires? I was told I can't go on the rear 275 with 8.5"?

Thanks for helping

lol

is there anyone that could give me a hand.

Its probably a stupid question but the thing is that the place where im going to get my wheels the guy says that the most tire i can put in the 19x8.5" wheel is a 255.....i wanted to see if i could put 275/30/19

Hope anyone can help

19 x 9 should be ok. 19x8.5 might work if you run 265's

I would say your tire guy is right.

A quick google search for just about any tire size calculator will tell you that a 275/30/19 tire will need a 9.5" wide rim. 265/30/19 will need at least a 9" wheel but 9.5 is more realistic.

For a 8.5" 255 is as wide as you should go. Don't stretch it, it'll look funny and be unsafe.

Check out 1010tires calculator, it works pretty well.

Good luck.

Thanks a lot Krytech!

I just hope that since im getting 19x8.5 Rear Wheels as well as the front....that my car doesnt look bad.

Thanks for the help!
