Im trying to figure out which size tires to use. ( i have them already)
No i will not be using them on the winter.. im more worried about rubbing issues/etc.

So trying to see which size will work better with my new wheels.

I believe 265-35-19 will have too big of a side wall and may rub the sidewall is a .4 in larger..also w 43mm offset wheel will be tucked in and not flush..

You can use this calculator to see www.rimsntires.com/specs.jsp

265-35-19
Sidewall 93 mm (3.7'')

275-30-19
83 mm (3.3'')
