Default 19' rims

I just recently aquired a set of SSR Agle Strusse rims via trading my subwoofers. They came with 245/35ZR19's on the front, still in good condition. Then 275/30ZR19 at the rear but they are both pretty worn down and one has a pretty deep crack along the sidewall. My question is: Is this a good size to keep on them? Or should go with a different size. Debaiting on weather or not I should replace the tires on the stock wheels and just sell off the 19's, or go ahead with the 19's and replace those tires. Thanks.

DANG 19 FOOT RIMS!? lol

I'd keep the 19" and get new tires... the size fits very nicely not too small not too big

I agree with project85


*thread jack*

Should I keep my 18x8.5 bullets or go for something lighter&wider?
Also I've got 235/50 BFGs on there now can I fit a 265/35 on that rim...I want NT05s but I don't really wanna drop a bunch of $ on new wheels

Default going with the 19's

Sounds good. I definatally want to go with the 19's then. I don't know anything about tire size. They originally had 245-35s on them but never installed on the car. They were off my buddys benz. Anyone know what'd be a good size to stick on 'em? Dont want to put the wrong size on it and have my odom reeding the wrong mileage, and my speedom telling me im going faster/slower than I really am. Maybe I'm just thinking way too much in to this. Help...lol

I have 18x8.5s and have 255/45-18s on there.
You can go up to 275/40-18 and still keep the
OEM revs per mile.

Default tire size?
