Can a 275/40/19 be mounted on a 19x9?

For the more knowledgable tire folks...

Can a 275/40/19 be mounted on a 19x9 where the original tire was a 255/40/19?

I would recommend visiting tirerack.com, select the tire you are thinking about, choose the size then scroll down and select 'Specs'. It will show you the range of rim widths it will fit....

Yes, it can be mounted on a 19x9 wheel. Compared to the 255 it will have more sidewall bulge, which will likely mean less crisp cornering. I know someone who runs 285/35s on 19x9 wheels. I wouldn't do it myself, but those tires mounted on the wheels just fine and he is happy with them.

I have 275/35/20 on 20x9 wheels.

Yes but it won't be optimum, you probably would want to run a 275/35/19 as a 275/40/19 is way to tall and could cause rubbing from the height. A 275/35/19 is just about the same height as a 255/40/19.

A 275/40r19 is not tall enough to cause rubbing. I have that size all around on 19x9.5 inch wheels with +33 offset and there's still room to lower the car. Also, the rear tires on the PP1 cars are 275/40r19, so it's a pretty common size. I've even seen some people running 305/35r20s (quite a bit taller tire than 275/40r19).

I read somewhere on the forums someone ran this with the OEM 9" wide front and ran into rubbing issues. Could be wrong. That being said the OEM front tire on a pp1 car is 27" tall you will now be running a 27.7" tall tire. Not to mention the added sidewall as well as not optimum width for the rim is going to make for a sloppy front end. You also just added 6lbs of rotational mass to the front of the car. I also feel a 305/35/20 is to tall for a rear , I know its being done but not optimum.

Perhaps there is an inside clearance issue with 275s on the 9 inch PP1 wheels since the offset is so far inside (why so many run spacers with those wheels). There would not be a risk of rubbing the fender. In general a 275/40 on a wheel with proper offset won't rub. I agree a 275 tire on a 9 inch wheel is less than an optimum fit.

No problem running 275 tires on a 20" wheel in the front even. I did this on my 2015 20x9" Foundry rims. No issues at all and it was lowered about 1/2 inch.

I ran 275/40R19's on 19x10, 40mm offset all around on my old 2017 GT. No issues at all. The only negative handling trait I noticed is it tramlined quite a bit more on rougher roads. My setup was pretty close to the strut, 5 mm less offset may cause an issue, but may still be ok. Just check it out and worst case, throw a 3 mm spacer on there.

I am running 275/40/19 on the 19x9 pp wheels. The tire bulges a little and no rubbing.

Thanks! Never knew that, learn something new each day.
