I'm running 225/40/19 front on a 8.5 wide wheel with 305/30/19 rear on a 12.0 wide wheel.

I'm not sure if 235/40/19 will fit up front as the 225s already skim the fender liner when the wheel is close to full lock.

Is your car lowered? If so, by how much? I'm wondering if 235/40-19s would rub on stock or slightly lowered suspensions.

I just registered to say thanks! Especially to pwdrhound for the pics.

I found this super helpful. I've got a wide body RX7 that I've got new wheels for and I was trying to find out more info on what a 305/30R19 looks like on a 12" wheel, and found this thread. Wheel/tire calculators only tell you so much.

Looking at the Michelin Super Sports and couldn't find much info on the actual contact patch widths, but it looks like despite being a wider-than-usual model, it will still give me the small amount of stretch I need to tuck it under my fenders.

Peace from Down Under!
