Now it's time for the tires. I'm gonna go with the Nitto invo's. Need a little help on tire size. Any opinions on what size i should do for the front and back? Any pictures would also help.

You can look at my thread if you want to give you an idea.


255/40/19 in the front and 275/40/19 rear. rides good. Go with the falkens. Better traction than the invos...

If you do a 40 in the front, i would also do a 40 in the rear.

GT500s run 285/35 with a 255/40 up front.

Depending on what you want to do do I would go 255/40 front and 275/40 in the rear or 285/35 in the rear. I run 255/275 on my 19x9.5s. The only thing is that the rear sidewall is kinda tall on the 275/40s.

So now the problem of sidewall comes into play. I'm 100% sure i'm going with the 255/40/19's in the front. My only problem is i want to do 285/35/19's in the rear but i'm worried about the sidewall height. Adding to the problem is that the nitto invo's are not made in size 275/40/19 which would be the other size choice. Does anyone have any pictures or input on what difference i would see by running the 35 profile tire in the rear? Would it look out of place?

My front Falken 255/40/19 show 27.1 OD and the rears 285/35/19 show 26.9 OD....That's not much of a difference.

This is not my car, but these are the exact RTR's and tires that I bought.

I just got these put on 2 days ago...295/35 20 and 255/35 20. The sidewall is a LOT taller than what was on my Toyo's. which were 30's in the rear and 35 up front.
