i am about to buy another max this saturday......i wanted to see how wide i can go...i was thinkin 19 x8.5 rims...but how wide tires can i go? and wat do you guys recomend? i was thinkin 245 45 19? any1 have any opinions? or suggestions?

 

hello desert.org....any1? lol

 

I think there have been plenty of threads asking if a tire will rub in the past week. Out of boredom I will shed some light on the subject. 19x8.5 should fit fine, but you may need something with an offset of lower than 40. I have heard some guys running 9.5" rims on back. For the tire at 8.5 I would go with something like 255/40/19. 245 might be a lil small for the rim, and getting 45 in height might rub alil when turning.

 

It's only been 31 minutes, and you're bumping your thread? It was still in the top ten threads in this forum.

IMO, you would have had better luck posting in the Tires and Wheels Forum. Hopefully a mod will move it for you.

 

i havnt been on the org for a while every1 is so bleh about everythin ...cmoN wiz....lighten up...and right on hector for your input....you think the car being dropped would affect it?

 

I was considering a drop, therefore answered accordingly.

415 415....FRISCO?? 19x8.5" tires... FRISCO BALLIN RIGHT THERE YEEEEEEEEE SUNSET DISTRICT ON MINE.

 

I have 17x9s with 255's no rubbing I could go 265 really but I would only have about 3mm of clearance, and that just doesn't seem like a good idea

 

well it would be easier to answer your question with the following:

what offset will the rims be?
are you dropped?
if so, how much of a drop?

 

Also, what's the purpose? Going too big and wide with your wheel/tire combination can hurt both performance and comfort, and past a certain point, even the appearance of the car. Bigger != better, universally...

So, when are you going to post the wheel offset & width?

 

Offset: 48mm Bolt Pattern: 5-114 Size: 19 x 8.5......?

 

for a 4th gen max!

 

48mm... get like 15-20mm spacers, then you'll be good to run up to 255s or so.

 

You'll be fine, no rubbing. And that bolt pattern should be 114.3.
