19x9.5 wheels?

[svt5.4]

Can I use my stock Pirelli tires with a sve drift rim 19x9.5?

Tires are 245 45 19

 

[MOB 5.0]

i put my stock 255 on a 9.5" wheel and its fine

Subscribed I was also wondering this?

you can but it might look a little stretched im running 275s

 

[naeem5oh]

you can but it would look alittle stretched.

It will look a LOT stretched. I have Ford Racing 9" rims with these tires as a winter set and it almost looks out of place. Not sure I've even seen a 245/45 spec listing anything above 9" as a rim size.

Will take a picture and post tomorrow if that helps.

Im running the stock 255/40/19 Pirellis on drifts and they are a bit stretched looking, as said 245's are going to look real stretched

I've got 255's on the front of my car and they look decent. I've got 285's on the rear and they're about perfect

Im looking at those Mickey Thompsons in those sizes, have any pics?

ditto

even though I'm running 18x9.5's in the back I'm running a 275, I wanted to go wider but I couldn't get the tire I wanted in 285

I'll take some tomorrow for you. Anything you want in particular?

Funny, the specs on the Neros say 9" max but the same size P Zero says 9.5"...

I wouldn't do it either way.

Edit: I misread the first post. Here are my factory 255/45 Pirellis on a 19x9.5 wheel.

I did exactly what OP is asking for and installed my factory 255/45 Pirellis on a 19x9.5 wheel. Been driving with them for over 6 months

Barely any stretch, see for yourselves:

OP has 245 45 19. It looks like you have 255 40 19

You are right sir. I misread the size he stated. Ignore my post :loser:

Although, IMO it would still be fine with a 245 as well

OP, you could probably get a set of pzero 255 40 19 takeoffs for around the same price as you could sell your neros, or trade someone even. The 255's will fit better, and cheaper than buying even the cheapest 265 40 19 tires.

Here are some pictures of the stock 245's mounted on Ford Racing 9" rims. For whatever reason they look much narrower than even a 255 series tire. They look way too narrow for the rim, especially in the rear. Can't image how it would look on a 9.5" wheel.

Forgot how low you had your car. Coilovers still treating you well?

OP, don't do 245's on 9.5" wheels.

Here is my old GT I ran a 245 on the front for a long time with no issues. The RTR are 9.5 wide

Yep! Best mod I ever did. Thinking about getting some stiffer spring rates here soon.
