hey guys im looking to buy some new tires im on a tight budget for now due to personal reasons and still have stock brembo wheels anyways i wanted to go to a wider rear tire maybe a 275 but all the 275/285 in my price range are either 275/30or35 i feel like that such a low profile it wouldnt look right compared to the stock 245/40/19's does anyone have any pics of what it will look like on our cars im not looking for criticism here just some help thanks guys
19" wheel and tire help

On a 19" wheel you'll want a 35 aspect ratio with a 275 or 285 wide tire. a 285/35 will give you basically the same (technically 1.75mm larger) sidewall as a 245/40.
All that said, if you're on a tight budget for any reason maybe wheels/tires aren't the smartest decision at this time. /old man advice

ok i will look into 35 and im not getting wheels i have factory brembo wheels but i NEED new tires lol not that im doing it for shits n giggles haha its now a matter of a safety perspective
Ah gotcha. Sounds like a plan. The 35 is definitely what you want..As a point of reference, the GT500's came with 255/40 fronts and 285/35 rears. Those tires share virtually the same sidewall height.
I run Hankook 275-40/19's on Brembos on the rear.
Before I got new wheels I ran 275/40/19 on the stock brembos. I loved the little extra sidewall, it made the car look soo much better imo.
Ideally I would like to run 35 or 40 profile but all the 275/285 in those profiles are more than I really wanna pay epcecially when I don't plan on keeping these wheels much longer hopefully just till tax time right now my option is to run 275/30/19 in rear and 265/30/19 in front or to stick with the factory 245/40/19 on all 4 corners
Brembo cars come with 255/40's not 245/40's.
Also if you go with the shorter tires 275/30 and 265/30, your speedo will be off and it may mess with the ABS and Advance Trac systems. not to mention that it will have a much larger wheel gap in the wheel well.
Find a set of Brembo take off tires to get you by for now.
I have a sct x3 for speedo correction and easier said than done for finding take offs when u live in the middle of nowhere atleast an hour from any large town lol on top of time to do so and yah I knew they were 255 idk why I kept thinking 245
Stock Brembo wheels come with 255/40/19 tires from the factory.
Stick to a 275/40/19 if you want to go wider, or if you want to run a 285 on there, do the 285/35.
IMO, a 275/35 just looks like too short of a tire.
Also, DO NOT use yhr X3 to modify your revs/mile value in the car. It doesn't work. I tried for a week to get mine dialed in, and it just doesn't work. I could never get within 5 mph of my true speed.
