Tire size on oem 19x8.5 wheels

[GT1JP]

Hello, I want to know if anyone is running 275s on the oem wheels. Currently have 255 but want a bit wider without changing the wheels currently on budget lol. Just wondering what size is the widest I can go, thanks

Welcome. Moving this topic to the Stinger Tires forum.

The staggered OEM setup is already as wide as recommended in the back. You could go 245 wide on the 8.0" front wheel. 255 is the widest you should go on an 8.5" wide wheel. A 9.5" wide wheel would recommend a 275 tire as the widest, a 245 as the minimum width, and 255 would be ideal on a 9.5" wheel.

You can ignore these recommendations and experience handling "adventures". Basically, the wider you go on a rim that is too narrow, the less lateral stability you have cornering. It can be dangerous too, if you push too fast cornering on sidewalls that are not supported enough, the tire tread doesn't stay centered over the wheel which puts stress on the sidewall construction and over time could fail.

275's fit fine and with a 20mm hub adapter sit hella flush and look awesome.

I did update the fronts to 245's to keep the rolling dia identical...

Wow that looks nice, do you have any more shots of the wheel/tire combo (from behind, side on, etc)? 275 is a lot of tire for an 8.5" wheel but your seem to fit really well.
