275/35 or 275/40?

[Nealuss]

I am getting new tires tomorrow and I was set on 275/35R19 square but now I am wondering if 275/40R19 would be better. Stock suspension GT premium non PP 19's. BTW I know they will bulge a little on these wheels but my concern is rub and how they will look. I know I can mount them.:cheers:

I vote 275 40 19. 27.6" tall which I think is perfect on these cars unless crazy lowered like 3" on Coilovers.

275/40/19 look like truck tires. Go 35 series for sure, especially if you're lowered or will lower.

It also depends on rear end ratio a bit. I have an Auto with 3.55 rear so the taller the tire the better. If I had a 3.15 car I'd want the 35s for a little more low end.

I like the look of the 40 better in any case.

It's about .5" taller for the 40's or .4" shorter for the 35's. I just want to make sure they won't rub in the front. It would be a real pain in the ass to have to return them.

Both choices will work just fine, as it comes down mostly on what look you like, but we run 275/40 on most of our setups. Heres a picture on one thats Lowered on Eibach Springs 1.3 inch Front & 1.5 inch rear.. Just in case you were thinking about lowering in the future.

lol, a truck tire? Seriously?

I went 275/40/19 on my 19x10 wheels. Fills the wheel wells perfectly.

Last one.

Not sure how anyone could think they look like truck tires.

I'm pretty happy with my "truck tires".





FYI, this is my old Jeep with a "truck tire". They are different, lol.

I think this platform needs fat tires it fits the car nicely and gives that badass look
