I've read and done research on tire sizes and saw that some people have had experiance with some sizes I'm looking into getting. I saw some have run the 40/35 series with 19's. I'm looking into running 245/40/19 and 275/35/19 on my next set up to get a little bit more tire. Those anyone know how these sizes will look or work on 19x9 offset 20 and 19x10.5 offset 25 wheels? Chicago roads suck so I want the extra rubber. I already know the side effects like my speedometer will be off and so on. etc.

Thanks for any input

Hi there, i'm running these number on 166 oem, they are sick, put some 12mm spacers on the back but the rubbing kill the tires, so took off the same day, can't drive that way, now I'm doing without spacer my only complaint it's about the corners when driving, i'm pretty sure it's my suspension because I have stock non sport suspension this may be my problem, after that everything it's good!!

I am running M6 OEM Style 166 on the same size tires. Never had any rubbing issues; however, my wheels are 19x8.5 and 19x9.5.
