Havard Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Christ, how can you run a tyre that is soooooooooo stretched.? Get a 265 on there and enjoy some grip and the ability to corner. Welcome btw. H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 (edited) Great pics and a big help, is the car on stock suspension ? I think if you go up to the correct size of 255 you could well need to have the arches rolled If you fit a 255 30 19 instead of a 255 35 19 the diameter of the tyre will be 25 mm less and be the same as the stock size on 17's. It could still catch the arch though being 20mm wider than what's on now, fitting a 265 30 19 just makes the problem worse being 30mm wider and 6mm bigger in diameter Edited November 8, 2013 by Dnk (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dnk Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Yup stock suspension. He is going to change the rears for 265/30 i told him 255-265 is the optimum for that rim size, my guess is they don't have any 255 for that brand. I guess if they have to be rolled they have to be rolled.. If they do rub, its either roll the arches or buy new wheels in the correct offset, either way is much better than silly stretched tyres.

But yes i would rather have rolled arches than how they are now. Tomorrow will be fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 As you go down in profile on the tyre you will make the car have a harsher ride due to there being less rubber so less give in the tyre, this could also cost you some grip but on stock suspension shouldn't be too bad, just wary especially in the wet.

Guest RandyButternubs Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 I've got the 265/30's on the car now, oh my god they look so much better! no rolling needed either. Thanks for all the comments and recommendations guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Great news and way better than stretched tyres, i'm slightly surprised they don't catch on full compression though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup i definately can notice it while driving. I've been over speed bumps etc and not a scrape so very pleased. Won't be towing any boats tho ha.
