isnt it the other way around?

You are running 18s and not 19s.

The second number is an aspect ratio and is the tire's sidewall height. For example 235/35/19 & 265/30/19. The 35 is 35% of the section width. The reason why the fronts are thicker is because you are taking 30% of 265 vs 35% of 235. Hope that makes sense.

staggered 18 (8.5, 9.5) should generally run 235/40/18 265/35/18
staggered 19 (8.5f 9.5r) should generally run 235/35/19 265/30/19.

The width will need to be adjusted accordingly, but just know that sometimes WIDER is not better.

McLuVan · 03-19-2008, 06:26 PM
