Tire Size
Hey all!
I just joined. I'm trying to figure out what's the comfortable maximum rear tire size for my car -- it has the factory 255/40/19s all around. And I would like to go with either 275 or 285 on the factory 19x9 rims in the rear. Also, should I go 40 or 35 series? Any advice would be appreciated! By the way, I just bought my first Mustang (black/black) about a month ago. It's a 2014 Mustang GT premium track pack car with Recaro seats. I couldn't help myself and had some upgrades done at the dealership. Now 436 RWHP SAE net.

welcome
Me personally, I probably wouldn't go wider than a 275 on a 9" rim...and when going with a 275, I'd do a 35 series.
The 255/40/19's are around 27.05" overall diameter. A 275/35/19 will be around 26.6", and a 275/40/19 will be around 27.7".
