295's on 19x11

[jon c]

will the 295 tire look to narrow on an 11' wide rim, I dont want the tire sticking out of the fender, thought a 305 may be to wide???

What brand/model tire? some run wider than others and some run smaller.

What brand/model of wheel also? The offsets will determine where they sit as well.

It seems like all the 19x11 wheel/tire sets being marketed offer 305's, so I'd assume that there aren't any fitment issues. There, I actually typed the word FITMENT! Does any one ever use words like this outside of CF?

I'm thinking about the WELD EVO BC-10 wheel has an offset of +65mm,
dont really know what tire to go with maybe the PS2's

Might want to check out that particular offset, just to make sure. However, it might be just fine for that wheel.

I'm running a 295 michelin on a 19x11 Iforged. 275 on a 19x10. Look's great.

As in my PM... Running the C6 EMT's(245/40/18 and 285/35/19) on 18x9.5" and 19x11" CCW's... looks and works fine

[valdeztke]

Well I put a set of 325/30/19 GY runflats on my 19x11 ... not a good idea. Sidewall is HUGE!!!


After seeing your C6 rear 285/35/19 I think I'll pick up a used set from the C6 forum.

What do you think dan? Can I run the 285/35/19 on a SP20 19x11?

well according to John and Chip at CCW they are sending my wheels with 305/30/19 Bridgestones and they said it will fit inside the fenderwell without any issues

You can run it, it will look like Chuck's car. But I'm a girl bigger is better!

I think the 305's look good on a 19x11. Just my 2 cents.

I run 295/35/19's with a standard offset ZO6 wheel. They rub slightly on the rear brake ducts during hard cornering.

[striper]

I have 295 PS2's on 11" and they fit fine.

Huge sidewall, not really. 285/35's look like rubber bands. The larger sidewall will ride better.

I would hate to think what you would say about my 345/30's.

The rolling diameter of the 285/35/19 and 325/30/19 are the same (well, so close it is insignificant).

Translation: Sidewalls are the same height.

My bad, I read 285/30/19, thinking 26" sidewall. I even wrote it correctly too. Nevermind.....

So if it's the same sidewall height, it must be that the section width is 13.2" on a 11" rim. The wheel itself is still 12", so the tire shouldn't really hang over much. I'd intrested to see how it really looks.

Well I swapped my 325-30-19 for 285-35-19 today on my CCW 11.5 and it is exactly the look I was going for
