If you pick wider than OEM tires with the same profile ratio, then your tire diameter is larger than the OEM tire. When you start going wider, you may need to reduce that sidewall height (lower profile ratio) to bring the diameter back closer to OEM. Don't forget that you also need to keep the front and rear diameters within 3% of each other. Here's what the tire calculator says for diameters: OEM Nismo 245/40/19: 26.7 inches OEM Nismo 285/35/19: 26.9 inches 255/40/19: 27 inches 255/35/19: 26 inches 265/35/19: 26.3 inches 305/35/19: 27.4 inches 305/30/19: 26.2 inches 315/30/19: 26.4 inches
