Tire hookup?

Just got new wheels but my tire guy might not have any tires in the size i want so anybody got the hookup for tires? Im looking for 265/35/19, or worst case scenario 265/30/19. thanks.

if you are concerned with rubbing you might want to consider the the 30 series tire. the 35 series is 1in. taller according to my calculator.

Not personally but I just bought 265/30/19 for my rears for $190 each on Vredestein Ultrac Sessantas which are really excellent tires. I think the only place locally that carries them would be Larry's.

i am very concerned with rubbing but ive seen most of the guys with my size wheels are going with 35. so hopefully whichever tires i get i hope they're not chunky like the direzza z1 star specs (which dont even come in 19).

275/35/18 is 25.6" inches tall. this is what I am running and my car rubbed in the rear at stock height and was worse lowered, till we rolled and pulled the fenders.

265/35/19 is 26.3" tall

265/30/19 is 25.3" tall

the width difference between the 265's and the 275's are 10.4" Vs. 10.8"

hope this helps with your planning

Yeah I don't want 275. Hopefully 265/35 will treat me right. A bunch of other guys have em with no rubbig and are dropped on eibachs.

Only thing that comes into mind is TireRack.com. I do have a cousin that works for Bridgestone but its one of those," Yea where related and Soooo......" kinda deals. Let me know Cory if you want me to ask him.
