What size front tires to get if I am running 305's in the back and 19x9 up front?
As some of you might have read in my other thread I am getting Forgestar F14 wheels. I am planning on running 305/30/19 in the rear with 33+ offset and I was wondering what size tire should I run in the front? I don't want to throw off the balance of the car and wanted to get your opinions.
I will be running on H&R springs and also wanted to find out what is the most aggresive offset I can go in the front without any rubbing? My understanding is that my rears should not rub, correct? And lastly I noticed that a lot of people run 35 profile tires up front and 30 profile in the rear. Does this look odd or is there an advantage to this? Sorry about all the questions I just really want to make sure I get this right before I place my orders. Thanks for helping me pick the Nitto Invo's in my other thread. Seems like a great tire at a great price. |

as far as the 35 series up front and 30 in the rear. its done because with the wider width in the rear a 30 series ends up having a closer sidewall height with the front than if you went with both as a 35. it would make the rear sidewall look unusually tall.

255/35/19. No rubbing and it will offset a bit of the understeer you will have.
