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.
