Help, will this work

Bought a set of 19" Kleeman M11's
8.5X19 ET55 with a 5mm spacer for an ET50 total
10X19 ET60 also with a 5mm spacer for an ET55 total

Planning on running
Front: 235/35/19
Rear: 265/30/19

will I be ok with the 265 out back, or should I run 255 ???

I dont want my tires streched, and I dont want to run either, planning on putting H & R Sports on it, not Supers, cause I tow a seadoo, and dont want rub??

thanks,
Dean

I would use a 10mm spacer front and back on that setup. 235/35/19 up front and 275/30/19 out back. Thats a 10" rear, you will have stretch w a 265 and alot w 255. 55ET out back might rub the inside spring perch w that high of an offset if you only use 5mm spacer. Spacers are cheap tho u could always try it, but u will be fine w the specs I posted for you. 10" rears are kinda to be avoided if you plan on lowering your car. If your just doing sports you will be ok its a tiny drop. Either way go skinny brand tires so you dont have issues out back......

my favorite is sumitomo HZRIII its a great tire for the money, skinny treads that look great. They are hard to find unless you order and sometimes size is an issue w wierd sizes. Second fav is falken 452s another good looking sidewall skinny tire you can get in any size, I have 2 sets in the size you need so you can def get ur size in those
