Anyone running 255/45/19s?

Ebm · Aug 14, 2017

If anyone is running 255/45/19s, can you show me a pic? I'm wondering about fitment up front. It should be fine, I just wanted to see how close it is to the fender.

Those would be almost 2" taller than stock wheels, FWIW.

You think they would fit?

255/40-19's are the stock size on the GT/California Special.

Yes, I'm aware. They came on my car stock as well. I have a chance at getting some 255/45/19s for a good price. Just wanted to see if anybody else was running them.

Well a 255/45/19 should be about 28". I have a set of winters that are 245/45/19 @ 27.7". They fit fine, no rub but the offsets are not stock.
Curious why you dont just do 255/40/19 tho and not have to worry about speedo or fitment?

The main reason is cost. I can get a really good deal on some good tires at that size. The other contributing factors are more sidewall and it would fill out the wheel well.

I am running a square 275/40/19 on performance pack rims. No issues.

If you are using your stock wheels then that tire should work.
