Here's a tire size calculator... This might help you !!!

275/30/19s (25.5") is what you want. If you want a staggered sidewall height a 275/35/19(26.58") is your size for the rear wheels.

thank you everyone, so I should go with 275/30/19's ? hmm wonder why the supplier wanted me to go with 245's ? I currently have 275's now and they are not going to be stagered wheels, I want the same all the way around!! thank you so much for all your help too!

[Blue28]

Yes, 275/30/19 is the size to go with.

what is the correct bolt pattern for our vehicles 5x120.65?

[Blue28]

Yeah, 120.65 x 5 is correct, but quite a few people still use the 120 x 5 bolt pattern without a problem.

IMO, you should see if you can get those wheels with a +40 offset, then the wheels won't look like there tucked in to far.

[stefos]

so I should go with a +40 offset instead of the +50??

[Blue28]

I would, it'll look better

These are 19 x 9's with a +40 offset(Tork, Imagine) and 275/30/19 tires.

thank you bluye28 but the manufacturer(ruff racing ) says they are only made in a 19x9 with a +50 offset do you have any pics of any a wheel and 275 tire combo with the +50 offset for our fbody's? just curious what they actually look like stance wise since I can't goto the store cause it is so far away from me? thank you blue28 and to everyone else with anyhelp I appreciate it

[Blue28]

10mm equals right about .394", so the +50 offset will tuck in between 3/8 to 7/16" more than the +40 offset wheels shown.

[Blue28]

Here's my car with 18 x 9's +45 offset.

[Blue28]

I believe the stock 17 x 9's are a +50 offset.

THANK YOU EVERYONE SO THE RUFF RACING R944'S 19X9'S ALL THE WAY AROUND WITH 275'S/30'S OR 35'S? i WANT THE SAME SIZE TIRE ALL THE WAY AROUND SO SHOULD i GO WITH 30'S OR 35'S?

[Blue28]

If you want them all the same size go with the 275/30/19s, otherwise you might have some slight rubbing issues with the 275/35/19s up front.

[stefos]

im going from a 17x9 with 275 40 tire combo to a 19x9 with 275/30 tire combo
all the way around will this affect my cars get up and go performance?
