Default Opinion Regarding OEM IS-F wheels with 265/35/19 Rear-Pictures Please

What's up peeps!!!

As stated above, wondering if anyone's running 265/35/19s on stock IS-F rims-rears.

Helpful insights and pics would be greatly appreciated.

I'm running 265/35/19's on stock IS-F rims-rears. No issues. Already been to the track with them and again no issues. No washing out or swaying. Has not upset traction control or stability control either.



Sorry about the crappy pic but its all I have right now.

Thanks for posting. Does it look meatier versus having 275/30 which is what I have on right now. I know 275 would be wider but by having a 35 side wall...can this add that meatier look?

Also, discount tires said I can even slap 295/30/19 on OEM. Can someone confirm?

You may also want to consider that the look of the tire is also going to depend on the tire brand/design. Some tires, like the pilot super sports, have a rounder edge where the tread meets the sidewall, for example. IIRC, they definitely weren't as squared off as the OEM rubber.

I can definitely say that it looks meatier than stock oem sizing. I can't say whether it would compared to a 275-30-19. If you buy from discount tire, their service is pretty amazing. I've had them put on different tires because of handling preference and sizing and they accommodated me with no problems. They really do stand by their "satisfaction guaranteed" motto. Ask I8ABMR about his last visit with discount tire. He had them put on a rear set of tires. Decided to go up a size and had them put on another set. Didn't like those and had them remount the first set without any complaints!

YUP !! Blazn335 is 100% correct and to be honest I do thgat kind of stuff all the time. I have returned tires to them at least 5 times. I would try a brand and just not like how the tire feels and just take it back in and pick something else.

THe discount tire slogan is


If ever you're not satisfied with one of our tires, please feel free to bring it back.
At Discount Tire we stand by everything that we do. If you are not satisfied with your purchase at any time, bring it back and we will make it right. That is our promise.

If you ever find a tire for a lower price, please let us know and we will beat it... Simple as that!

Please enjoy our "Thank You" commercial below. It currently is in the Guinness Book of World Records and is recognized as the longest running TV commercial of all time. Since 1975, we proudly stand behind this message.

also wanted to add that I hot the track with rich and I saw his set up and it looked absolutely fine. No weirdness. No bulge. I think it looked great. I know too that He pushed his F on the track that day. I would say it would fly.

WHat size are you rocking in the front ?? I forgot.

BTW There is another track day at AMP in January. After hitting AMP it will be a very long time before I go back to wild horse pass. AMP has it all, easier on brakes, its a higher speed course, and it less than 30 miles

Very minimal. Before I rolled the fenders with a fairly large passenger it barely rubbed, enough to hear it but cause no damage at all to the tire or body. Now with the fenders rolled, under extreme flex going up or down a very steep driveway it rubbed the inner liner, again not enough to cause any damage but enough to hear it. I drive it normal, and the ride is much better than the stock Bridgestones.
