what sized tires

hey, just picked up some style 95s.

19x9 et24
19x10 et24

xi I know i need to keep with in 1%. I want stance but I'm not looking for too much stretch as I just came from a car where I did all that and couldn't enjoy the drive.

I don't mind doing a minor roll if needed. Should I got 225/35/19 with 265/30/19 rear OR 235/35/19 with 275/30/19

the 235 275 is closer OD and I like 275 rear but how will it fit. Im on stock suspension as Im getting the car next week but will get coils next season.

thanks

thats pretty meaty for style 95...guessing you are not lowered?

I ran 225/35 and 255/30 when i had mine but you can get away most likely with 235/35 and 265/30.

225/35 265/30

and

235/35 275/30 are the closest combinations that are very similar in Tire diameter which is needed for the AWD system

http://www.audiworld.com/forums/tt-m...chart-2704424/

for reference ^

275 is pretty meaty! just wondering if i will have issues, Im on stock suspension not lowered but will be next season. Don't mind rolling a bit and I'm sur will have to camber a bit when i do.

235 and 265 I might be able to get away with but i want to confirm

the rears are risky with 265s. I had them on my style 95 but even with camber and roll i still rubbed (I was dumped on kw v3). Here is some pics with the 225/35 and 255/30 toyos i ended up using. Again, fenders were rolled
