Default 255/35/19 on a 10.5 rim .... who's dunnit?

I'm running a 350z spec wheels on my SC300 on air susp

the only wayt to get this to work is by using a 255/35/19 tire on the rear (10.5)

and a 235/35/19 up front (9.5)

My question is... who's done it? any problems? what's a good brand to stretch a tire on like this?

Brands that come to mind (that make those sizes) is bridgestone and yokohama

I haven't run that exact size but have run 19x10 with 245/35/19 Falken ST115
Not an extreme stretch at all. I daily drive my cars.

Currently I have 19x9.5 with 225/35/19 Falken ST115 and 19x11.5 with 275/30/19 Toyo T1S

Falken ST115, FK451 or FK452 all stretch very well. Bridgestone and Yokohama have very square side walls so I would avoid stretching those. They will not help your fender clearance!

I have FK-452 265/30/19 on my 10.5 and I think it's a mild stretch. The 255's should be more decent stretch, but not extreme in my opinion.
