Default tire size thread opinions

Hey all, so I'm going for a really aggressive minimal negative camber stance. The wheels I currently have on my rear are 19x11 +0
Fronts are 19x9.5+11

So I want really wide tires. Would a 325, 30?be to much on an 11 or would a 305 be more acceptable. I'm not going for the stretched look on this car.

And what front tire size would go flush with the the rim a 245, 30? Or should I go staggered on height(aspect ratio) like the supra stock tires, like a 35 front 30 rear...

Here's a little peek a Bo. I wanted to keep the stance top secret but who cares!

I run a 19x11.5 on my rear with a 315/25 tire. I've run 295/30 I think (whatever the widest ta kdw 2 is) and it was fine. The 315/25 seems about perfect. A 325/30 is going to be a big diameter tire. It wouldn't fit on my car I don't think and my fenders are pulled/rolled and I'm not slammed. With yours sticking out past fender hope you got a lift kit. Lol

Speaking strictly from a width of tire on that rim you'll be good anywhere from 295 to 325 depending on brand.

Forgot to add, fronts i run 265/30 so diameter is near the same, about .1" off. I like my wheels same diameter so I'd go that route but up to you. Look online at a tire size calculator, the one on a miata site is awesome to compare measurements on different tires in terms that make sense.

unless you go widebody your not fittting any of those tire sizes without stretching for the rear your in the 245 235 area for the front your in the 225 235 area at the very most and thats with rolling and lots of pulling and or camber

In the future I might go wide body but for now I'm trying to get as much of an aggressive pull as possible and I don't care if it 'fits' I want the poke! But if the pull doesn't compensate for the width I'll either do some cutting or run fender flares or a combination.

There's no way I'm putting a 245 on the rear. I would have used Honda wheels if i wanted that width. Even my stock supra tires are wider than that

i don't think you understand how badly those rear wheels are not going to fit like you expect them to... the fronts will be fine with a pull... not so much those rears, tires are going to be an issue
