Help choosing tires for 19" wheels track & DD
 
Hi guys :hello: I need some help on choosing my next set of tires... I know maybe here on the Forum are already a lot of thread with this question... But I cant find the answer that I want... My question is... going to 255/35/19 & 295/30/19 or stay with my current setup that is 245/40/19 & 285/35/19? I want to know the pros & cons of both setup for the track & daily driving... I know already that for the track the 18"wheels are better but at this moment I cant find an 18"wheels that I like :/

If you have any other or best setup that works for the track and for daily driving let me know!

Thanks for the help

BTW my wheels specs are 19x9.5+12 Front & 19x11+15 Rear

With those wheels I would go with 275/35/19 f and 305/30/19 r. Hankook RS3 are made in that size and do well on both the street and track. I have this tire size on the stock Rays and they are a little pinched but on your wheels they would fit perfect.

Hankook RS3's as DR mentioned or could go with RE-11's. Either of those would be my recommendation.

Thanks a lot guys for the recommendations! I really appreciated :tup:

Now lets see if I can find those size here on Puerto Rico...

Thats the reason why I said the 255/35 & 295/30 cause I find it already lool!

But I hope to get luck on find those size that you tell me

I let you know :tup:

BTW I forget to ask you my friend... Do I have to run spacers with that tires on my wheels?

Let me know!

The rear will be more than fine and no spacer needed. Not sure about the front. I have 19x9.5 +20 and I can't go over 255 without rubbing issues. So with your offsets I would think you would be good with 275, but again not 100% sure. Wish I went with better offsets on the front but at least they are just for street.

If DR doesn't know maybe ask in the "Will it fit" thread.

Perfect bro! I really appreciated your help here :) im going to check In the shop.. im going to ask first if the have it... and if they can install one to see if they fit with any problems :tup:

Mount your current rear tires on your front wheels and give it a try. I suspect it will be fine.

Don't buy the BFG rival, very disappointed in it so far. The rs3, kumho xs, or re-11 are great but unless you're going for looks a 305 in the back is unnecessary. 285 square is a great setup
Edit- didn't see you rims specs, 265/305 is great. I don't think 285 will fit up front

PharmDZ 04-17-2015 10:33 PM

285 does fit up front. I've used 295/30r19 Hoosier slicks (which run wide) without rubbing. That was with about -2 camber, not too extreme.

I run RE11s 275/305 on stock Rays, 15mm front and rear, look and handling are stupid anymore, almost boring on the street, waaaay to good :driving:

For the track on the other hand, killer setup. Though I would like to try a 285 or 295 up front at some point
