Question Widest tire on 2015 F-Sport Stock Rim

Wondering what is the widest tire I can run on the stock 19" wheels ? The stock ones look like skinnies!

I'm considering 255/55 or 50. Will those even fit ? ( stock size is 235/55/19 )

Just curious.

Call the folks at https://www.tirerack.com/content/tir....&gclsrc=aw.ds

I have 255/50/19 on 8 inch wide wheels. I think the stock 7.5 wheel may be too narrow and may lead to worse handling and maybe an air out under hard cornering. However, the folks at tire rack have charts that identify the proper wheel size range for each tire size. They are probably on the internet too if you search.

Also look at this old thread https://www.clublexus.com/forums/rx-...-19-wheel.html
