Ganty Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Hi all ! Just got my new rims at the weekend some 19 stern st 1 8.5 on the front and 9.5 rear and wondered if anbody could tell me which tyre profile would look and be the best set up for my car on stock j spec suspension . would this be ok? 235/35/19 front 265/30/19 rear or would this be better 235/35/19 front 265/35/19 rear any help appreciated! cheers:d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr lover Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 these are the best choice 235/35/19 front 265/30/19 rear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ganty Posted October 6, 2009 Author Share Posted October 6, 2009 these are the best choice 235/35/19 front 265/30/19 rear any reason why pal or is this what most people run? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedrosixfour Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 I think the main reason is it keeps the rolling radius the same for front and rear which is important on a car with ABS. Of course I might have taken my red pills today instead of my blue ones! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dr_jekyll Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 35/30 would be the conventional way to go. but if you run a 35 on the rear you will be able to get a bit more grip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pedrosixfour Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Is there not a chance you might end up with rubbing issues with 35 profiles on the rear? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nic Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 The aim is to keep the rolling radius as close to stock as possible. You will normally have a higher aspect ration (the middle number) on the front tyres as they are narrower than the rears. Tyre Width x Aspect Ratio = Side Wall Dimension Front 235mm x 35% = 82.25mm Rear 265mm x 30% = 79.5mm If you were to fit 265/35/19 on the rears the rear side wall will be bigger than the front, also the rolling radius will be greater. Rear 265mm x 35% = 92.75mm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
