Hello,

I have just bought a set of used Champion RG5B 19 inch and I need new tires. It is not easy to figure what fits on or not.

It seems 235/35x19 in the front and 295/30/19 is the most usual fit but not all tire brand actually fit due to the fact that each brand make their tire a different actual width. Then the offset of the wheel comes in play.

Agreed also that the rear tire should be 25 thick, but then only a handful of brand offer this size, and mostly for width above 300, which is then a bit too much if you really want to drive the car.

I think it is time to list who got what on their car and if it rub or not..

Let's talk only narrow body.

Try to list:

- Tire brand:
- Tire size: Width/Thickness/Diameter
- Rim model:
- Rim width: Front - Rear
- Offset: Front - Rear
- Car lowered: yes/no - details
- Comment: rolled fender lip, small rub, would not fit at all ...

 

I'll get started

- Tire brand: Michelin PS2
- Tire size: Front 235/35/19 - Rear 295/30/19
- Rim type: Champions RB5B
- Rim width: F 8 - R 11
- Offset: F 46 - R 68
- Car lowered: stock us suspension
- Comment: rubbing in the front fender liner with near full lock steering

 

You should add wheel type, width and pic's

- BBS RS-GT
- F 8.5" - R 11"
- Offset: F 53 - R 60 (I run a 14mm spacer on the front)
- Tire brand: Pirelli PZERO Rosso
- Tire size: Front 235/35/19 - Rear 305/25/19
- Car lowered: Lowered on JIC Coilovers
- Comment: rubbing in the front fender liner with near full lock steering
