Default sc300

hello

for those who know about tire fitment

i got a set of wheel that i bought 19x10 rear 19x8.5 on the front

with +48 offset on the rear and +35 on the front for my sc300

now the store i bought the wheels from they told me i could go with

275/30 on the rear and 275/35 on the front

..now my question is.. would this be the right zise tire for my car?

would i have to roll my fender? or should i use another zise of tire

please help.. thank you

I would do 245 35 in the front. Is your car lowered? Even if the car is lowered I don't think you'll have to roll your fenders.

Depending on his offset a 275 can definitely rub, lowered or not. My 265s on stock suspension rubbed on moderate turns before they were rolled.

Rolled them and no problem. Then I lowered the car on coil overs and it very rarely rubs.

If your offset is high and they aren't near the fender I don't see it being an issue.

My front 245s fit fine without rolling. I rolled them anyway just to be safe.

I should have posted that. Offsets were 24 front and 22 rear. Or the other way around. I forget off hand.

Rim size is 18x front and 18x10 rear.

275's are too big for the front. 245/40/18's will work fine for the front.
