sasha@lazytrips Posted August 15, 2011 Posted August 15, 2011 I just wanted to check before plunging in and ordering a set of new tyres for my wheels. I've got a set of Rota GTRs all round. 19 inch wheels with 9 inch width on the fronts & 10 inch width on the back. When I had the wheels fitted, they came with 245/35/19 on the front and 275/35/19 on the back. The lip sticks out a fair bit and the tyre seems a little stretched to me. I am about to order some 255/35/19 for the front & 285/35/19 for the rears, but wanted to check to make sure that these would be fine. I checked on tyre calculators and the fronts against 225/45/18 (standard Rays) are +0.21% out (better than the 245 that seem to be much more popular here for 19 inch wheels) and the rears are +0.65% out which is pretty close too. Would I have any issues (other than finding the right rubber) in having these? **** And lastly, the bonus question: If I went with 295/30/19 on the rears (-2.67% out), I can get Ultrac Sessantas instead of Falcons which I would prefer a fair bit. Am I right in thinking that the difference in size will throw the sensors out and generally not be a good idea? Otherwise I'll be going with Falken 452s all round. Quote
Ruddles Posted August 15, 2011 Posted August 15, 2011 Sasha sorry to thread hijack, but you found 245/35 and 275/35 too stretched for your wheels? I ask as I'm wondering which tyres to get and have been considering 255 and 285. However, which a 25mm drop. Quote
sasha@lazytrips Posted August 15, 2011 Author Posted August 15, 2011 Pretty sure mine are 9 wide at the front and 10 wide at the back. In my personal opinion 245 and 275 is not quite wide enough for a fair coverage if you have a rim poking out. That's why I'm thinking of getting slightly wider tyres all round. Quote
sasha@lazytrips Posted August 15, 2011 Author Posted August 15, 2011 not lowered and no rubbing issues. The wheels aren't that close to the arches, and I would hazard a guess than an extra 1cm will fit easily. Might do some measurements later today. Quote
Ruddles Posted August 15, 2011 Posted August 15, 2011 Interested to know what you get then I can determine whether 275 or 285 i go and if I'll need to roll Quote
sasha@lazytrips Posted August 16, 2011 Author Posted August 16, 2011 Anyone know whether 295/30/19 on the rears is too far out from standard? Quote
hadZ Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 I got 295 35 19 on the rear if that helps. The only issues I had was the rear was rubbing on the arches but that was because I had the car lowered. Anyone know whether 295/30/19 on the rears is too far out from standard? Quote
