Default Work VS-XX on it's way, need recommendations for tire sizes.

I will be receiving my Works VS-XX next week so I need to order tires for them.


Here are the wheel sizes:
Front: 19x10
Rear: 19x11.5

What size tires would be a good match to these wheels?

Any experts out there?

I would go with 265's up front and 305's in the rear.

depends man.

are you wanting to be dropped 1 inch from the ground or what? what are the offsets of the wheels?

Fatty tires for "higher" stance... more stretched tires if your going for looks so you can get that drop.

if it were me I would go with

245/35 or 255/35 front, 265/35-275/35 rear.


main thing we got to know is the offsets of the wheels

Here are the offsets, keep in mind I will have a widebody kit that this wheels will fit into. I don't want the stretch look and there is 1" drop.

19x10.0 -17 mm

19x11.5 -11mm

Cannot recommend tires without knowing the offsets.

These are really aggressive offsets.

That wheel and tire combo is quite aggressive.
Are you running a wide body?

Just a quick reference:

I'm running a 18 x 10 285/30/18 up front with a 44 offset, leaving me a 2.8 inch frontspace. That 2.8 is basically flush with my front fenders. My rears are a 17 x 11.5 with a 51 offset running 315/35/17's, 3.2 frontspace.

Your 265/30/19 will actually grow a quarter inch all around making your overall diameter (25.3") a bit taller than where I'm at (24.8"), but a bit shorter than factory (25.7"). Your -17 offset gives you a 5.2 inch frontspace. Your combo will stick past my setup 2.4 inches more than where I'm at.

Your 305/30/19 will grow to a (26.3") diameter compared to my (25.7"). The -17 offsets of your wheel will give you a 5.7 inch frontspace, sticking out 2.5 inches more than mine.

Overall, I don't think you can even get enough of a pull to get your fenders to where they need to be with those offsets and tire sizes.

Check my build thread for reference with pictures.

Those wheels are widebody fitment ONLY. If you're not planning on widebody might as well put them up for sale now
