What's the width of the rims. I think the fat setup for 81/2x10" is something like 245/40-19 275/35-19. But you best do a search in the tire rack forum. They have all the answers.

We can't help you if you don't post your wheel specs. Let us know your widths and offsets and I'm pretty sure we'll be able to help you out

Does anyone run a 245x35R19 front and a 275x30R19 Rear?
Or do i need to go 265x30 in the rear?

Haven't really posted here often, but I run OEM Supra TT wheels. Tire sizes are 245/40/17 in front and 285/40/17 in the rear. Ran this setup for a while with cut eibach's and never ran a problem with rubbing or alignment issues. Hope this helps you out.

The 245x35R19 front and 275x30R19 rear will work? Just to be specific! And do you think this size will still ride nice?

265/275, you can go with either one since your offset isn't too aggressive. If you want to play it safe, 265, it'll allow for more clearance where the tire meets the fenderwell, that is of course if you're worried about it rubbing. As far as riding nice, not too sure, it's definitely not going to feel like your stock 16"s. I had 20"s on mine with Eibach Pro springs and to tell you the truth, the ride wasn't all that bad

In terms of riding nice, I dont think so. I had 18" Roja's Formula 7 with a 35 series tire and it was terrible;rough rough rough, Well at least here in NYC. I bent every rim, cracked one, replaced at least 10 tires in two years and had no choice but to remove them and install something near to stock. Just my very expensive experience.

i have 19x8.5 with 235-35-19 in the front and 19x9.5 with 245-35-19 in the back. To be real this set up rides better when i had 18s in my ride and i also have the eibach pro-kit spring.
