Tire question

[rcharles]

Looking to go to a staggered set of wheels. 2013 GT/CS.

Rear:
19x10 +48mm offset

Will a 305/30-19 tire fit or is it too wide. The selling company told me yes but wanted a little more input if anyone has run that set up.

Front:
19x8.5 +30mm offset

Will run 255/40-19 on the front.

Just researching before I pull the trigger.

Thanks in advance.

Don't do it. 305/30/19 is almost a full inch shorter than 255/40/19. Your car will have a reverse rake.

305 can go on a 10" wheel, but with a 30 sidewall that is about as questionable as it gets. I'd be a LOT more comfortable with 255/40/19 up front and 285/40/19 on the back

For unrestricted street use, 305/30-19 needs a wheel at least 10.5" wide. Even 255/40 on 8.5" wide is only minimally acceptable.

285/35-19 is another option for a staggered setup including 255/40's up front.
