275/30 R19 all around? - 3000GT/Stealth International Message Center

rjt86 · 04-15-2008, 05:14 AM

Hey guys need your advice, dont really want to go staggered fitments, just want to keep it the same all around, i think to my self why go staggered when its a AWD..... what do you guys think?

the tyres will be going on a 19 x9.5" is this the best width for a 275 to make the most contact to the road?

How would a 275/30 R19 look, will i also loose alot of steering response due to the wide tyre on the front?

If im not mistaken the 275/30 R19 will fit fine with no rubbing due to the overall diameter been 25.5" and the stock 245/40 R18 coming in at 25.72. the 19" will actually be smaller in total diameter and will not cause rubbing, is this correct?

Any advice or comments appreciated. Thanks

Also will i have any issues going a 19x9.5" rim ? as reading on the fourm some users say that 18x9.5 require spacers or it will hit?

Just trying to clear it up as i thought if the total diameter is less then 26" you wont have any issues? Thanks

Top is the current stock 99 vr4 tires..bottom the new stuff for comparison.

It is all going to depend on the offset of your wheels. Let us know what wheels you want and then we can tell you if it may be an issue or not. 275 wide tires have been run no problem on all 4 corners before, but it all comes down to your wheels.

I'm not sure about all the specifications, but I beleive the 19x9.5 should fit fine. I've got 18x9.5's with 265's so I would think you're wouldn't be too much wider. I have plenty of room left.

no rubbing or anything when taking hard corners? with those rims and tyre size?

i think offset has something to due with it, but i was informed to get closest to stock offset as possible, im not to sure how it all works with wheels.....help please!!

Also what profile tyre?

Highly doubt a 9.5 +45mm will fit unless you can do some voodoo magic. Stock TT wheels are 8.5 +46mm. The first wheel you mentioned will be about 1/2" closer to the strut than the stock wheel--and that's not even taking into account the additional 15mm of tire on each side. Most 9.5 wheels that fit are in the 30-38mm range.
