Just bought some 19" rims, 8.5" fronts and 9.5 rears, what size tyres do I need:confused1:

the ones i have just sold had 255 35 19 rear (9.5j) and 235 35 19 fronts (8.5j) they have a slight strech, if you see the post to indian zx you can see for yourself

I would have to go 235/35/19 front and 265/30/19 rear......

 

......as it is normal to drop a profile with each inch of rim increase; the ideal sizes for 18 inch rims is 235/40/18 front and 265/35/18 rear. Therefore 5% off the profile is what I said above......
