tire size question - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

i currently have
19x8.5 225/35-19 front
19x9.5 255/30 -19 rear

id like to beef up the rear tires so im not replacing them as often im on stock suspension possibly thinking coil overs within the next year. what would be my best option so i dont have and wheel sensor issues or rubbing issues for the back tires?

thanks for any advise

I was actually wondering what the biggest wheel size you can fit is without any rubbing. Is it better to max at 18" instead of 19"?

Yea my 255/30 have like 15k on them and gonna need replaced soon i i wanted to get a thicker rear tire so i dont go through them. As fast

Considered a better tread wear tire? Is ur alignment off? Stock HP? If ur wearing thru a 255 and think u wont wear through a wider option i assume ur wear is cause by wheelspin? If so you could just do less burnouts lol

Not stock i think the issue is i need to go from a 30 to 35 but will i rub?

30/35 has no effect on tire wear. A 35 will make ur speedo/gearing off by 6% though.... W stock suspension i dont think ud rub. That tire size will also raise ur ride height 3/4"....
