tire rack, on the other hand, has an opt-out, allowing you to purchase a set of tires without disclosing the model and thus the model's oem wheels. they're circumventing discount tire direct strict oem specs. discount tire didn't even allow me to purchase tires for aftermarket wheels; rather, as soon as they knew the make and model, they wouldn't sell me tires for any other aftermarket wheel. I was annoyed to say the least.

and the front wheels, for example are 19"x8"f and 19"x8.5r and they refused to sell me 225/35/19 f and 255/30/19 r. not some crazy setup where the tires are stretched thin or don't match the specs of the wheel.
