Hi, ive got 19' rsc 2 pc and have 235/35/19 front and 265/30/19, so it depends on what profile you go for. imo you should go for 235 for front and minimum 255 on back

Depending on the width of the rims, the best combo ive used is.......

 

Front.....225/40/18 (235's are easily as good)

 

Rear......265/35/18

Thicker profile, takes in the bumps a bit better. Mine are 235/40/18 on the front and 265/35/18 on the rear. It's a comfortable ride.

thanks lad i think im going with 255's on the back.

does it matter if i stick with 40 on front and back or shall i go with 35, i dont know.

people have told me that puting 35's on will make it real bumpy

wont make much difference wether you go for 35 or 40 there both low profile as mentioned before i went from 40 to 35 didnt notice any difference plus it also depends on rest suspention components eg if you have coilovers then it will be harsh/bumpy but with stock shocks shouldn't be to bad hth.

This will give you an idea of things for Toyo T1-S tyres:

Most tyre manufacturers do similar charts - though you may need to search for them. Ideally you want to match up overall diameter/revs per mile for front and rear.

 

FYI this is what I am running:

 

18x8.5J 35mm offset 245/40 tyres

18x9.5J 41mm offset 275/35 tyres

Cool you can fit 275's on 9.5 wide can you go any wider or is that max.

 

I was going to ask about tyres some time soon.

 

try http://www.mytyres.co.uk well cheaper also have a very good range.

Gets very pricey as you get wider. Don't get lower quality just for the width.
