Default 19" meatty tire set ups please post pics!!!!

Hello CL, thinking about changing my set up and want 19"s with a lot of rubber. Thinking something like Jeff Tsai's white beast:


but more flush and a bigger tire. 19x9/19x9.5 and 19x10.5/19x11 with a 255/40 and 285/35. Anyone have any pics with this set up?

Dude with screen name whazzzzuup had a fat tire set up.
Beyond the normal hunting around, maybe some SC guys would have more results.

I'm running 19x9.5 et 12 with a 265/35 up front and 19x10.5 et 12 and 305/30 rear. Meaty enough?

actually I have seen this pic before, yes that is exactly what I am looking for. it appears that you have a lot of "poke" for lack of a better term. I was thinking the same size but a higher offset, like +22 to +32? with 245 or 255/40 front and 285/40 or 295/35. do you have a lot of fender issues?

The 2GS can accommodate a lot of tire. Guys have fit 305/30/19s on 11" rims but the offset is key.

Well before this set up I made the mistake of running 245/40 f and 275/40 r and it was rubbing big time! I had the fenders rolled and pulled to accommodate those tires. After a little researching I found the sizes I wanted to run which is my current set up. So if you notice in the pic, I still can go a bit lower and no rubbing at all.

here is where I am at 245/35 20x8.5 et +30 and 275/35 20x10 et +35, no rubbing what so ever and I have a finger gap from fender to tire in the rear and about a finger and a half in the front. just looking for something a little more agressive





Do my wheels look small to any one else? they are 20's
pics look familiar carlos???
