Need some advice on tires

xSteveOx · 11-29-2021, 05:04 PM

I have a 2014 touring sport with the big breaks and have some wheels getting delivered soon and need some advice on tires. they are the Artisa elders 19x10 +12 and 19x11 +7 I was thinking about 255/35 for the front and just don't know what to run for the rear I also am on stock suspension right now.

Thank you in advance.

all depends and your taste on how the wheel will look , impo if you go with the 255s you will have some lip hanging outside the tire wich could be easily damaged by a curb , I'm running 275s on front with 9.5 wheel and is on the edge and also running 305s on the rears with a 10.5 wheel but whatever size you decide to go keep in mind that it has to be a 30mm wide difference between front and back and also keep the shoulder of the tires (tall )the closest you can to each other . but again every body likes different hope my words haven't get you confused instead of helping
best regards

Are you aware those sizes are wildly aggressive for stock suspension? Adjustable arms, coilovers, and rolled fenders better be on deck

The rears can go from a 285/35 to 305/30

Also, did you contact the manufacturer about brake clearance?

Thanks for the reply. I have some thinking to do. I more than likely will wait until spring to get tires mounted. And will probably use my stock rays through winter if I drive it. Had no problems last year. Also yeah I know they will fit. I bought through fitment industry's there were a a few running the same wheel setup.

Are you referring to this car?

One of them yes

The rears are not the problem. You can run anything pretty much in the rear

Your fronts are even wider than the black car, which already pokes at stock height. If that’s a look you’re going for, more power to you.

I like the rims, but not in that spec. I am on stock suspension and went for a flush look with my set up.

Well definitely decided to order some 19x9.5 for the front.
