Default Cannot find the recommended tyre size!

I have searched high and low here in Bahrain and also my contact in Saudi Arabia... but no one has stock of 245/35 19's.

My vendor recommended 245/35 19's for my front 8.5's and 275/30 19's for my rear 9.5's. My wheels are MRR GT1's.

What is available is 255/35 19's.

Is that too much? Anyone have pics of any 8.5 inch wide wheels front running 255/35's?

255 is too wide for a 8.5" tire. Are you looking for a specific brand of 245/35/19?

255 is too much tire IMO. what about 235/35?

most on here are running 245 on a 9" wide rim. 235 seems like a better option on the 8.5" wide rim. This is what I ran on my first set of Work rims.

agree, 255 a bit much for 8.5. i am so surprised you can't find 245/35, it's one of the most common 19s out ther.e how about 235/35 like mike said?
