285/35/19 on eco pp 19x9

Has anyone put a firestone Indy500 285/35/19 on a eco pp 19x9 rim. Want some more width but just soncerned. Firestone says that it should go on a 9.5+wide rim.

Should be fine, it seems they run a tad narrower than the size indicates.

I just put those on my 10" wide wheel and they look exactly the same width as my previous 275 tires I had on there before.

You might get a small amount of bulge, but it will not be dangerous by any means.

I would not put 285/35 on a 9" rim. You won't get the benefits of the extra width unless you have a 9.5" or more. Stick with a 275/40R19, 265/40R19 or even 275/35R19.

You'll not really going to loose anything from running a pinched 285, but ya, I don't think its going to help much (if at all) over a 275 on a street tire with a soft sidewall like the Indy 500.

Yea that's what I meant. It'll just go into bulge and will dull the response of the tire even more.

I guess I’m just going to do the 275/40. According to one calculator the 285 had a diameter that was closer to the stock 255/40 but on Firestone’s site the 255/40 is closer to the 275/35

what tires/size did you end up going with?

Just received my Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 Tires. Love them. Have gotten so many compliments on the tread pattern already.

Running 19x10 wheels squared wrapped in 285/35/19 all around.
