From my current research i've found these recommend tires sizes for F14's

front:225 35/19
rear: 245 30/19

Issue:
There is almost no tires avail @245 30/19, but there is a shit ton of options for 245 35/ 19. I would lilke to buy matching tires, that won't cost a 1k.

Questions:
Can you run 245 35/19? if not what combination of tire can I run?

Thanks in advance.

What are the wheel specs? Size, width, offset?


I just picked up a set of 225/35/19 (F) and 245/35/19 (R) tires for my 19x8.5 (F) and 19x9.5 (R) wheels. I went with Hankook V12's.

Front Wheel Size:19x8.5
Rear Wheel Size: 19x9

You should be fine with a 245/35/19 rear tire.

honestly 245/35-19 isnt ideal. it's a bit tall. are you dealing with offset issues? if you can fit the width, 255/30-19 is a far better choice (much closer to oem rolling diameter).

what is the offset of your rear wheels?

[ptack]

I too would look into 255/30s for the rear (depends on the offsets). You're going slightly lower in the front so going 1" higher in the rear is not great and you went 1/2" wider on the wheel so you would want to take advantage of that with a 255 otherwise what was the point? Kumho makes some ultra high performance tires in those sizes at a good price, but I can't speak for them. I'm just about to replace a set of Hankook V12s with Michelin PSSs. The Hankooks were just 'OK'. By all accounts, the PSSs are great (sorry, not in your sizes). Ask Forgestar if they know what will fit or Gill at the Tire Rack.

Weird considering the guys at VMR said a 35 tire in the rear will work just fine with a 19 inch wheel.

Maybe it will work but just not ideal

These guys just want to sell wheels and a lot of them push wheels that aren't meant for the 1 (offsets aren't high enough). Having to put 245s on a 9 inch rim is a perfect example of such a miss match.

Some try to even promote 245s on 9.5 inch rims lol..

[pwdrtoastman]

here is 245/ 30 19 and 245/ 35 19 based off of the stock rim tire size.

[pwdrtoastman]

here is at 255/30R19- i really think this would work

[fourtailpipes]

what is the offset of your rear wheels?

[pwdrtoastman]

+50

[fourtailpipes]

oh great. go with 255/30-19. it'll work no problem.

9.5 +50's can work with 255/30's at stock ride height. If you plan on running a tire manufacturer/model that runs a bit wide, you'll need some fender rolling. (Dunlop Z1, Advan AD08, Toyo T1R, etc.)

You should be okay with the following setup so long as you use a tire with a rounded side wall and are on the OEM sports suspension. If your car is lowered in anyway, you would most likely need to roll your rear fenders. Let me know if you have any further questions.
