Hey guys, I just picked a set of wheels from the link below.
http://www.powerwheelspro.com/shop/p...roducts_id=732
I went with the 19x8.5 front and 19x9.5 rear. I am thinking about running 225/35/19 on the front tires and 255/30/19 on the rear tires. I have been look in the forums and there are a mixed batch of answers on what can be ran in the rear 255's, 265's and 275's. I would like to know with a stock suspension, the offset of these wheels from the provided link and 3 kids in the back seat with luggage whats the max width tire I can run? Thank s in advance Henry.

What's the roads like around your way ?

I think this site is pretty good, they have a visual aid.

I have 8.5/9.5 and 235/265. Offsets are +42 and +50 if I remember correctly.

Max is probably 275 rear although I would say that's pushing it a bit. I'm completely flush on all wheels. Stock suspension, no rubbing or anything.

The wheels you got, especially for rear, 19x9.5 +40mm offset, will stick out too much. Good chance of rubbing rear fender.
For that reason, I would stick with narrowest tire, 255 30 19.

Just a question, if you put larger wheels, how does that effect your 7th gear and say cruising speed of 100Km/H on some roads, meaning it may not reach 7th gear and heavier on feul.

Fuel went down but I attribute that to a few reasons:
1) Larger tires = more grip, less mpg
2) Tiny bit less aerodynamic, although not much (only feel probably <.5mpg
3) Old tires had less tread, tires float, increased mpg.

I lost about 2mpg highway however city is untouched. That's why the above reasons are attributed to it.

Does not affect 7th gear nor speed. Speedo adjustment will be needed if you go to different diameters than oem. However it is balanced out, larger rim, thinner tire.

On 19s i have
235/35/19 front
265/30/19 rear
Stock suspension
Sometime when i hit a bump, it'll rub a bit

You will rub if you go with 265 with a 40 offset. I did and mine is 45...but then again I was using Michelin PSS (which is wider than your standard tire). Luckily I was able to swap it out after 1k miles back to 255 and have been happy since.
