Widest Rear Tire?

[trakit]

What is the biggest you can go on the factory 19x9?

285/35/19?

295/30/19?

Everyone says no 305? Is the rim too narrow?

why not keep it square?

biggest you can fit is a 285/35/19, but that is outside most tire manufacturers recommended tire width for a 9" wheel. Stick to a 275/40/19 if you want to maximize contact patch. If it will be strictly for looks and DD, a 285/35/19 is fine.

a 305 is a 12" wide tire....you can't stretch a tire sidewall in 1.5" on both sides and still expect it to hold a bead...

So if 285 is the biggest on a 9 in rim what the biggest you can go on 9.5?

285 would be optimal, but I think you could run a 295 at the widest. My buddy has 275s on a 9.5 and the sidewall is sucked in just past flush with the lip. Like a 285 on a 9", 295 might be pushing the limits of a 9.5"
