Looking to buy new wheels

Fern to the Z · 04-17-2011, 07:45 PM

Forged wheels are expensive, might take me a while to save up and buy them, but while save, I will continue to research if going with 19x9+19x11
what is the optimal tire size combo (front/back) to go with, 255-35-19+285-35-19 sound right?

Those sizes work. Id go bigger on the rear though, 295 or 305

alchemy whats the biggest tire i can run in a 19 X 9? can i go 275/35/19? if so then I'll go 305/35/19 on the rear.

I'm also wondering the same thing. I've got the Forgestars on order in 19x9 and 19x11. I've decided on 305/30/19 for the rear, and am stuck between 255/35/19 and 265/30/19 for the fronts, can't decide!

Either should work, I went 255.

Would 305 on the rear and 255 on the front be proportional or would it look weird

Might look a little better w 265's. If your going big w 305 in rear might as well go 265 front

Just sucks that the Hankook V12's don't come in a 265/35/19

They have 265/30/19 &305/30/19. Nothing wrong w those.

I decided to stick with 265/35/19 F + 285/35/19 R, as far as my wheel I went with 19 X 9.5 F + 19 X 10.5 R. I was also aware that the V12's didn't come in the 265/35/19, so If available i'm going with the Michelins PSS's.
