Will this tire/wheel setup work?

I have an '04 Cab NB, which presently has 18''X10'' (65MM offset) with 285/30. Im thinking about putting 19''X10'' (47MM offset) with 285/30 19. Would this stick out too far?

Thanks

Make sure that you have enough room under the fender. If not, consider narrower tires or higher offset. WheelwellsWill fill out the wheelwell by extra 13 mm. Make sure that you have enough room under the fender. If not, consider lower profiles or smaller rims.

I think that offset is too low and a 285/30R19 is too tall.

Thanks.

It would be about 3/4'' beyond where my 285/30 18'' presently are, which would be right on the edge of the fender well. I think im going to go with 265/30 19''

You can use this calculator to see where you stand:

Ideally, you'd use a 305/25R19 - but they are rare. Dropping to the 265 gives up a good bit of width. Consider a 275/30 or if you have the option, test fit a 315/25. You may want a 10.5" for the 305-315 size.

I like that calculator from Brando. It is a good guideline, but doesn't replace a test fit.

285/30/19 is a bit tall but within the 4% error rule of thumb.... idealy you want 25"... since thats how these cars were designed for. For 19" you want 11" running 305/25 or 315/25.

I run a 10" 42et in the 285 rear right now. Perfectly flush. The tire might be too tall(overall diameter) as other posters stated.
