***TIRE QUESTION***

I just bought some RIMS: 19x8.5 Front and 19x9.5 Rear. Trying to figure out what tire size I need without any rubbing or modifications.

Thanks!

Do you have a C55 or C32? This topic has been beat to death but here are typical setups:

Rear -
255/35 on C32
265/35 on C55 or C32 with rolled fenders

Front -
225/40 (or 45)
235/40 (or 45)

In your other post you mentioned $1600 quote for rubber, that is just retarded. Tell that shop to fly a kite and check out tirerack.com or any other number of places. You should be able to get a good set of rears for less than $300 per and fronts for even less.

Thanks for your response.... I have a C32. I know this topic has been discussed ALOT... sorry for the redundancy, just didn't see a for sure answer. What's involved with rolled fenders?

I see alot of members using the 265/30 rear with 235/35 front. So you think 40s or 45s will work better up front?I was hoping to hear from people that have dealt with this setup and see if there was anything I needed to be aware of before I spent my MOOLA!

PS... I wanted to tell that shop alot more than just fly a kite. HAHA!!

Thanks again.

I think Mr Coors Lite thought you had 18's which will work for him but since you have 19's go with what i PM'd you with. Also follow his advice N00b
Do a search! and happy motoring
