What's the fattest tire I can run on the 19X9 and 19X10s? I don't mind the slugish handling, and actually want to keep some of the cushion of the 18s. i just want fatter (for looks) and launch traction

If the wheels have the correct offset with 19s with the 285 on a 10.5 rear you will not rub. Key again there is the correct offset. You can also get at least a 3.5" + rear lip on the rears if the dealer has the correct specs.

sounds good. how about the front. if I stick to 19", what is the fattest I can get in there? will I need to stick to the 245s? I was hoping for 265s. is that too much?
