Max Width Tire for GT Premium 19s?
What is the max width tire you can put on a GT premium wheel, 19s?
|
I think they are 19X8 so probably 275 is the biggest.
|
They are 19x8.5 I would say 275 are too big. You can actually hurt traction by going with a tire that is too big for the wheel. At the very least it is a waste of money. I would go 265 at the biggest but probably a 255. Even if you got the same size tire, a better quality SUMMER tire is where the best gain is going to be from, besides going with a wider wheel. The brembo guys have 9 in wheels and they come with 255s.

I have 275/40/19's on mine with stock wheels and they are really a way better tire. I have had no problems at all.
|
I'm running 9.5s in the back and got a 305 to fit nicely. a 285 would fit just fine on the original wheels.
|
A slightly wider tire will hurt traction? Thats completely retarded!:Frustrated:
|
275 40's here.. 285 doesn't really fit actually. And its a 19x9 I believe.. Assuming we're talking about the Brembo pkg 19's?
|
I think he was referring to the standard, non-Brembo wheels.
But I've seen many people running 285/30 on the Brembo wheels.... |

I have no idea. My stock wheels/tires were on my car about 1900 miles. They are just sitting in plastic bags now collecting dust.

Oh well, my fault for not looking into it better. Hows the Ventus holding up for you? |

I know most will disagree but 275 is perfect for a 10 inch wide rim, so on a 8.5 I think 255 is the max,since ford puts that on a 9 inch rim stock, the rim doesn't put that wide of rubber down correctly when your throwing too big of a tire on., it my look cool but it is a waste of money. If you want more traction get a thicker wheel and then put fat tires on. I dunno, just my opinion.

PROPER FITMENT? max for premium wheel would be a 255 or a 275 for brembo wheels. Can you go bigger? YES, but it isn't recommended. A tire that is 275mm wide is close to 11 inches wide. That puts a 275/40/19 2 inches wider than a 19x9 rim. Anything bigger than that and you will actually start to lose contact patch from the tire bubbling over the rim.
