285/35/19 on a 9" wheel?

BigDeep1 · 06-28-2014, 07:28 AM

Would jumping to a 285 for the rear wheels (OEM staggered set-up) make the tires look like they don't fit? I have 245 Michelen AS3s on the front 8.5" wheel, and it fill that tire fully and has beefy squares shoulders (side walls).

285 is too wide.

I feel 275 is the max on 9" wide wheels.

285 would not be a problem on a 9" wide rim. check on willtheyfit.com

Can it be done? Sure, but it will mushroom over the sides of the wheel.

Things are always bigger in Texas! But bigger is not always better.
