Tire Size Question

Hey Guys, I currently have my stocks on the car but need to replace the rear tires. The stock size is 285/30/19 Rear. Would a 285/35/19 Tire fit fine and not have any issues. Thanks for your help.

it might not on a stock setup, but since black beauty is lowered, you better crunch some numbers to see if you'll rub...

on a 285/35 - your tire thickness is 99.75 mm
on a 285/30 - your tire thickness is 85.50 mm

so that will give you a difference of 14.25 mm

so your setup can clear that, you're probably good to go...

hope that helps...

Thanks! I just got home from getting my tires installed. 285/35/19 They fit perfectly. The tires look bigger on the car but it looks pretty good IMO.. I ended up getting the Falken FK-451. The tread pattern looks nice. And so far they feel like they handle pretty good on the car.
