255/35/19 is the best match for the rims you are looking at.

I did do some reading, from what I got wouldbt 255 be too big once I lowered car? Would 245 look too small at stock height.

for a 9.5 wide rim, 255 would be best. Most of us on here are running 255/35/19 tires lowered.

Ok appreciate it. Going with continental DWS unless someone has other recommendations.

Holy shit are you serious? Do you understand how the sizing works? 245 is the stock width for stock wheels. Since you're going with a wider wheel you will need a wider tire. The 35 he recommended is the proper height for a 19" wheel.

Sorry for the outburst, I just get a little heated when people get the exact response the asked for and question it.

Might have planned on stretching them. I saw an S4 last week that had the wheels stretched to the point they looked round, and stupid.

He should cut his springs to achieve hella camber.

[Canary2323]

Yeah.. I'm not too finaliar with all the sizing yet my other truck only has one wheels option and the audi has too many lol. Why I'm asking, rather ask a stupid question then order wrong tires.

So wait, wheels aren't always round?

[hyperunion]

A 275/35/19 can be used on a 9.5 wide wheel with a 45 offset with 0 rub.... According to 1552

Oh hell, I said wheels, not tires.

Smartass. ;-) I meant rounded across the tire, like this.

Haha no problem, my house is full of my wife's family so figure I'd deserve some new car parts. I take any excuse to buy something new, had car for couple months now and it's still all stock and it's killing me haha

i disagree, i have 245 on a 19x9.5 and it was perfect...and depending on how low and type of tire, it can be a requirement to not rub consistently

255 aren't stretched like 245's. 255 is best!

[SleeperCar]

255 aren't stretched like 245's. 255 is best!

But that's the issue with tire fitment, the definition of best is very subjective.


Also, for how low I am, 255 is not best... Also, 245 on 19x9.5 doesn't look that stretched to me, not like a dapper life kid or anything

Lol, yeah they aren't that stretched to look like those clown cars. 245 isn't bad don't get me wrong, just preference I guess.

245 on 9.5 aint nothin yo.

All good, for the average drop and to ensure proper tire wear, 255 is best, so I get your point.


This is why I always struggle with that types of questions when not given enough information to work with.

Lol cmon, that dapper life tho!

I run a set of ECS/Alzor wheels in the same size. 19"x9.5" ET 40. I run Michelin Pilot Sports in 265/35/19, and while there is a little rub, its for the most part a non-issue. Really the only time I really have to worry about rubbing is when I have 4 people in the car. Here are some pics of the fitment.

Hard to tell since I lowered the car and got bigger tires at the same time. I'll measure the fender to ground distance when I get home.

[doowopaudi]

255/35/19 for the OEM look and 245/35/19 for minimal stretch. I was lowered and ran 245/35/19 on the same setup (19x9.5) and had no problems with rubbing.

Damn that's a nice ride. Good choice the drop and rims, looks good.

[doowopaudi]

Thanks. That look lasted only a couple of months before I decided to go back to my A5/S5 peelers 19x9 et 33 and am running 235/35/19 on those.

What offset were those wheels?

At my current height, it looks like ill have to go down to 235/35/19 on 19x10's or stop being a stancedouche and raise my car so I can use my current 245/35/19s

They were actually et35, now that I think about it. 19x9.5 et35

[Nightkiller6]

This is 9.5 with a 255. It is hardly stretch.

You should be fine with 255.

I have 19x9 ET 33 with 255 tires and I rub a lot. But then I again I am really low. Your offset should be just fine.

The S5 peelers are ET 33.
