wow a 265/75? we run 245/40 stock, if you upped the width you lower the percentage value for sidewall size... 255/35, 265/30 or something of that sort, to keep the total wheel diameter consistent

300E a couple 1994 w124wagon E320 Wagon/,1971MGB Track/Rally, MG Midget Autocross ,2000 E320 wagon.
You must

have copied down your tire profile size wrong.That 265/75 would be about 35inches in diameter.
besides 19's will ruin your ride quality and handling.

That "one guy" is one of the smartest people on planet earth. Jim Rogers is the king of commodities and he was worth over a few billion dollars and is arguably one of the smartest business minds of the 20th & 21st century.

don't make foolish comments.

the only thing that is stalling me. Is school. It just started so my parents want to wait "awhile" for things to "settle down"

Otherwise insurance and pricing and all that is figured out.
IMO i should have had the car 2 weeks ago.
