If you have the proper wheels (width and offset) then yes. On stock wheels no.

Also depends on your ride height, if lower than stock.

255/40ZR19's.......NOISY Pirellis!!

Yeah the Pirellis seem to have a not so good rep. I'd stick with same size and a different tire. Depending on your budget you can get some decent tires all way up top some great ones if you want

I would like a little wider tire with the same circumference as stock........305/30ZR19's fit that requirement but I wanna know if they will rub and if they're gonna fit stock 19" rims...that's all!!

Can they be made to fit? Sure.

Is it safe, practical or even remotely close to being a good idea? No, no and no way.

I would stick to the OEM size tire for the OEM wheel. If you want wider tires, get the proper size wheel. Don't be this guy:

OK......who knows how wide these 19" PP rims are??

I have my doubts Ford offers the best size or the best tire since they have "Bottom Line" to consider!! If they think Pirellis are GOOD......I have my arguments since I hated them on my 2014 car and I ain't particularly happy with them on this one either!!

Any of you responders know how wide these factory rims are??

Seems they are 19" x 8.5" but they really need to be 9.5" for the factory 255's to fit right according to the chart above??

They are 8.5, and the max tire width for those wheels depends on the specific tire not some random online chart. Each tire manufacturer has a suggested rim width for each tire size, so once you choose your tire, go on their website or check out tirerack.com and a you will see what size tires should be for a 8.5" wheel.

For example, Michelin states that their PS4S tire (which is a popular upgrade over the OEM pirellis) should be a max of a 255 on a 8.5" wheel, and that the ideal tire size should be a 245. Anything wider than a 255 (265s for example) require a minimum of a 9" wheel.

Also actual tire width varies quite a bit even for the same 255 rated tire, so that's why you shouldn't go by a general suggestion rather a specific one from the actual tire manufacturer.

PP1 wheels are 19x9 front, 19x9.5 rear shod with 255/40 and 275/40 respectively.

Thanks EFI.....I kinda, finally figgered it out myself........will look into 255/265 sizes and see what's what!!

255/40ZR19's.......NOISY Pirellis!!

Non directional tires are significantly more quiet a and you can rotate them. I never run any directional tired staggered or non staggered anymore.

 

[Coosawjack]

Same here.....and I just rotated the Pirellis last week.....NOISY now.....but they're Pirellis!!

I'm going with something (same size) else when these get too bad to keep!!
