Default Tire Question
My current rims are 19 8.5 F and 19 9.5 R offsets , ive been putting 245/35/19 tires all around , my question is since the front and Rear are different offsets does that mean I should use different tire sizes for the F and R for a better ride/fitment? Just a thought any advise will be appreciated ...



Thanks,
Sergio

8.5 and 9.5 are not the offsets, they're the rim widths. But yes, you should go with larger tires in the rear.
