go 275. the 2IS looks dope with wide rears

 

i run staggard, rims are 19x8.5 +35 and 19x9.5+39
my tires are 235/35/19 and 275/30/19.... the rolling diamter difference is almost zero.

a 275 tire will not stick past or bulge out of the 9.5 inch wide rim if anything it'll be just shy of flush with the rim.

i ran stocks for roughly 38K on my car before i i switched to rims, i ran these rims for another 16-18K before winter hit and now i'm back on stocks. i will be going back to my rims in the next few weeks.

i haven't had a problem at all, there has been no codes thrown at all. a better tire calcualtor that will give you the percentages between each tire and rim combination is

btw my pictures are floating around here somewhere....

 

wow,

ok...thanks i guess ill go 275s

is your car lowered are you experiecing any rub?

thanks

 

i'm lowered on F-sport, i have virtually no gab in the rear, maybe less than a finger, and also less then a finger from the inner fender to the tire. so almost flush, and fills out the rear fender well nicely.

the fronts i have maybe a 1-2 finger gab, which is fine for me. it is pretty flush with the front fender also. i do experience some very minor rub in the front if i turn hard while breaking at slow speeds. however i can't seem to find where exactly it is rubbing, so it's not bad at all.

pics for reference

what about the weight of the wheels? running staggared on AWD, althought the rolling diameter are the same, the rear rim weight more than the front, would that be a problem?
