Need advice on new wheels and tires

[2016 GT/CS Laila]

I plan on purchasing a set of Ford Performance PP2 style wheels 19x9.5 front and 19x10 rear. I am trying not to adjust the stock tire diameter too much and have decided on 265/40R19 front and 295/35R19 for the rear. Anyone see a problem with this, my current set up is 19x8.5 with 255/40R19.

That should fit fine.

I like using this website to get fitment help when looking at wheel/tire combos

Going from 255 square to 265/295 will cause a significant increase in understeer. 295/35R19 has little tire selection. 295 is wide for a 10" wheel.

Just go 275 or 285 square on 10" wheels. It will handle better, and have better tire life being able to rotate the front and rear tires.

A little change in diameter is not a big deal. Many people obsess far too much over it. But 275/40R19 should minimize it, and still have pretty good tire selection (but not as good as /35).

I'd second the recommendation for a different (ideally lighter) set of 19x10 square wheels with 275 or 285 tires, but if you are dead set on those I'd go 265/40 front 275/40 rear.

Thanks for the link. I've been trying to find it again for some time.

I’m not dead set on that set up, my other option is to source out 4 9.5x19 wheels. My current wheels have a 42.5 offset and the FP wheels have a 40 which is pretty much a wash leaving a width increase of an inch, just under a half inch on the inside and just over on the outside. At that point I would probably go for a 275/35R19 squared.

I suppose another option for those FP wheels would be 275/35 front and 285/35 rear. But I agree with the other posts about better options. The widths of those wheels (9.5 front and 10 rear) make it more of a challenge to choose tires with appropriate diameters and that consider the selection/availability of certain tire sizes.

Ford wheels are stupid heavy.
19x9.5 et30-40 or 19x10 et30-37 come in zillions of options and prices. 9.5 rims can happily support 255-275/40, 275-285 for the 10s.
Since you don't appear to have Brembo 6-pots, you might also try the 18x9.5 or 18x10 fitments.
