19" tire size recommendations/preferences?

[Jimmy]

I am getting a set of the euro 5 spoke 19x9 et35s sent from the Netherlands soon.

I'm not sure which width I should put on.... 265 or 275 mms? ....30 or a 35 aspect?....what do you folks think/run? Yeah, I can break out the tire size calculator that's on-line to see what is close to stock specs...but I'd rather hear from real-world peeps.

My bud had the 19x10s MTM Bimotos with 275s on his Rs6 and I run 275s on my 18x10" rears on my Benz; they look 'right' but not sure if they'd be too wide for a 9" rim. Prolly going to get Hankook Ventus V12s again...I liked them on the stock 18s.

I appreciate all your input....as usual. TIA :hey:

Text me, jimmy. I'll get you in touch with Jackson Motorsports. My 255/40/18 Michelin pilot sport super sports arrived yesterday and will be put on in a couple days. Simply amazing tire. Literally blows all the competition away. Went to south Florida this summer for the ss tire driving event and did real world testing between it and it's direct competitors on road course, wet/dry braking, and auto-x with slalom. The other tires might as well have been, well, not. Mine were 221/ea to the door.

Def Super sports for high performance. I run 19x10 all around with 275/30 tires. I think its the best fitment. 9.5 wide should be good too. 9" could probably run 275s, but it really comes down to the manufacturer of the tire. As you can see, mine came out pretty square with no stretch or bulge.

So far I really like my Hankook Ventus V12s for the money. I do 20k miles a year so I burn through tires quickly.

255/35/19 on the stock Euro wheels

Use care in choosing a tire, tires with a inner rim lip protector will rub the front upright

hi mate, in oz all the rs6's came with that rim and 255.35.19 tyres, i have kw v3 suspension, and from what i have seen under my car..i'd never get bigger boots on.(i have maybe 5mm clearence on the inside and f-all on the gaurd) .with my ride height and offset.et 35...again just my opinion...on my 3rd set of Prelli P Zero's and love them ..the last about 7,000 klms but they work great esp given the weight of the car...ie they dont have the outside blocks rip off like conti's

It's not like that we have roads like cheese but one home that came out from nothing can ruin everything :) On the countryside it's a lottery :)

Yeah Brav , your set-up is to be admired. The 275s fit perfectly it looks like, they would be to big on my 9"-ers it would seem.

I think the 255/35s in either the Hankook V12s or the 'special' Michelin Pilots will have to do on these OE euro 5-spokes. I was hoping to go a bit wider tho. Thanx for the all feedback...I'm glad I asked !!

Sweet !! Jebus, I should have gotten those rims instead....they look great.

Where in the Netherlands are you at? I'll be in A-dam again in the spring... on Hemony Straat ; as a base home for a few weeks. I would love to see and get a ride in your avant, and of course, meet up with you. 8-)

I am looking at a set of 19x10 ET 38 DPE S20's for my car. I ride on PSS9's so I am lowered slightly. Will I have any rubbing issues? Currently I do rub slightly on full lock turns on the stock 18x8.5 with 255/40/18. Will 19x10 with 275/35/19 rub just create more problems with Pilot Super Sports?

Thanks for the help.

[Brav]

Ya will probably rub at times.. michis run fat.

[repda503]

I guess they are 19x10 ET 20. Not sure if ET 20 is too low.
