Default wheel offset dilemma
Guys,
I have an 07 350 AWD & getting ready to order 19x8.5 w/ 255/35/19, but the wheels are 35mm PO & I see that most of yours are at 38mm. I realize it's only about 1/8", but don't want it to look like bigfoot. Any suggestions? I thought about 245's, but that dia. is slightly less than 225/50/17.

I think 255 is going to be to big. 245 or 235 would work better.

I agree 245...no need for the 255.

255 on 8.5 is too wide, 245 is max i would go. you are marginal, probably won't rub but it might be a bit close.
