Tire Size

Hey, I recently purchased Iforged Essen for my 335. 19X 8, 19 X 10

Can anyone please recommend tire sizes that would look the best with this setup. If this is a repeat or it is already posted, can someone please give the the post? Someone told me that having 30 in the back and 35 in the front would be a bad idea because it will sit higher in the front. Can anyone confirm or deny this.

Thanks

I have the same exact wheels and just purchased General Exclaim UHP 235/35-19's for the front and 275/30-19's for the rear.


As for the size difference, using the above tire calculator on the tires I just purchased, the fronts have an overall diameter of 25.48 and the rears 25.5, which is nearly identical. As close as your gonna get


If you were to go 235/35 up front and 275/35 in the rear, you would have a difference in overall diameter by over an inch.

Thanks, that helped a lot. Also, did the vendor who sold you your wheels tell you to get 275 in rear, because he recommended to me to get 265.

He recommended 265's but a 265 on a 10" wheel is way to stretched and will leave you little to no lip protection on your wheel.


I did a search and found some pics of the general exclaim tires in a 265/35-19 on a 10" wide wheel and the lip stuck out further than the tire itself, not cool


I'll have my tires mounted by next weekend and will post some pics if you like.
