Thank you. Due to the poll, why do you guys suggest I go wider in the rear instead of narrower in the front?

Honestly, when I'm running high dollar wheels I am extremely careful not to curb my wheels whether I am stretching or not.


nice.....I was thinking 225/35/19 for the front and 235/35/19 for the rear..........I'm still debating wether to go 245 or 235 on the back......

do you have any pics of that set up?

that is some major stretching for your rears. i would go 255 at the minimum. people usually don't stretch 19's. i would love to see pictures of 235's on 10's.

Its a mild stretch that was just fine for daily driving. I stretch for more fender clearance.

19x10 245/35/19 front

19x11 275/30/19 rear

Using Dunlop Direzza's and it has a little stretch, but could go more.
I would love to put my front tires on my rear wheels for max stretch and maybe go 225/35 in the fronts.

i have 235/35/19 on 19x9. the tires have that rim protector, so it looks more stretched than it really is. if anyone plans to stretch tires, do not buy tires with rim protector.
