Removed Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 10,5 should be fine with the right offset mate. I have 10 but with an aggressive offset and they just about stay inside the arches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think I've read about people putting that width on, but I would imagine it may stretch the tyres a bit depending on width of tyre.

Calculators your friend http://www.tyresave.co.uk/tyresize.html Liam I'm not sure that is the right calculator is it for the question? I would try the one on this link, 2/3 of the way down entitled 'Ideal Rim Width'. http://www.carbibles.com/tyre_bible.html The answer to the original question is both However, Liam's link will tell you what tyres you can use by comparing with stock and not upsetting rolling radius and the answer is either a 275x35x19 or 285x35x19 will work on 19" x 10.5" rims although the 275 will appear more stretched than the 285 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's certainly the case if your planning to drop it at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest prescience Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 That may be the case Digsy but not heard it myself - I can confirm that for a standard height a 275x35x19 has no issues at all since that is what I had myself. People tend to go for that size and its usually also a bit cheaper which may be relevant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
