hey guys quick question. I bought 19 inch rims 19x 8 in the front and 19x10 in the back. What are the right size tires for these rims. 4 weeks ago i had asked the same question and one guy on here gave me the wrong tire size after i asked 3 times if he was sure so your guys input would be great.

I'm running 255/40 on 8.5 fronts and 275/40 on 9.5 rears. Not quite the same as your wheels, since your rears are 2 inches wider than your fronts.

I tried 285/35's on the rear and they fit the wheel nice but are actually the same height to slightly shorter than the 255/40 fronts, which I didn't like. If my rears were wider (10.5") I would be looking for a 305/35

You have several options, depending if you want the same height front rear, same height as stock, etc...

What were you told in the past?

i am running 245/45 front and 275/40 back. My front tire is higher than my back tire and its thicker .

Sparta performance is those numbers to make it look like stock or make it lean a little in the front

Calculated tire width and height for the combinations posted. Will vary a little across manufacturers.

255/40/19 - 10.0 x 27.03
275/40/19 - 10.8 x 27.66

255/40/19 - 10.0 x 27.03
285/35/19 - 11.2 x 26.85

245/45/19 - 9.6 x 27.68
275/40/19 - 10.8 x 27.66

Stock 235/55/17 - 9.25 x 27.17

i don't know what the height should be im a rookie with this tire stuff. I just need one straight answer for both of them please im not trying to be an *** i just got screwed before

Any of the combinations listed will work fine.

If you go to Sparta's set-up they will look like what you have already, only wider and slighly shorter.

If you want the fronts to not "appear" taller than the rears and have a nice rake to the car, put a set of 255/40's on the front and keep your rears.

There really is no perfect answer. It is up to your taste at this point. I posted the sizes so you could get a feel for what the different sizes actually look like. It is easier for me to visualize when I can see numbers.

I'm going to keep the rear size and take your suggestion for the front wheels 255/40. Will this set up be ok even if the cars lowerd
