Would like more rubber on the road

[RGS]

Hello all,
I love my Stinger but sure would like some more sidewall on my factory 19 inch wheels. Any ideas? Thanks

Welcome aboard! And thank you for signing up. I have moved this discussion out of the community lounge and into the Stinger tires forum.

you can't add more sidewall without changing the accuracy of the speedometer if you keep 19" wheels. if you want more sidewall you have to move to 18" wheels. also related is awd which must maintain the same od front and rear.

Thanks for the reply! You confirmed my suspicions.

you can go to 235/40 and 265/35 on the stock wheels with no issues. it's just one size up. my speedo still rings accurate with those "YOUR SPEED IS...." radar signs.

I'll look into that. Thank you.

Sell your 19's and buy some 18's. You'll get a more comfortable ride too.

245/40/19 and 275/35/19 is a common upgrade with wider and very slightly extra sidewall. Your speedo will be a bit off (65 mph in speedo will actually be 66).
