Default Best tires for 19" wheels

Hi, I'm sure I saw the thread last time but I couldn't find it.

Needed help for what best tires for 19" wheels. With width 8.5 front and 10 rear.

Thanks

Fitting wise, depends on the offset...

235/35/19 & 265/30/19 (or 255/30/19)

I thought so too... The other choice is +42 which I think would be appropriate. But please correct me if I'm wrong 😅

Yes, the most aggressive offset that works without running on 9.5" wide with 265/30 was +38 but that also depends on the tire brand and model. With the wheels being 10" wide, your best bet is to ask someone with Vossen wheels for the specs that work for them. Vossens are usually 10" wide and that's a good start...

I think most people with CVT run 255/30 witch would be slightly stretched to clear the fenders if the car is dropped.
