19X9 Rear Non-RFT Tire Size Question

ssaylor · 02-05-2011, 01:59 PM

I'm considering replacing my RFTs with non-RFTs and have used Michelin Pilot Sport PS2s on most of my cars. They make a 225/35-19 for the front, but not a 255/30-19 for the rear. TireRack suggested a 275/35-19, a bit taller and wider.

Anybody running this size on their late model 335 without issues?

Assuming the same Wheel width and offset the diameter should be about 1.6" wider.

Yeah, 9" is the min. wheel width so I may keep looking. Too bad, I've really enjoyed those tires!
