Allowed front tire / rear tire diameter difference

If you’re talking to me I posted pics of my rims and tire sizes earlier. I bought the same size for the front to replace what I had on my rims, and I’m going with the 19” in the rear for 1” larger. I’ll post pics when I get them on.
Yes, but 19X10? 19X9? What is the width of the rims?

Oh good qjestion. I think my fronts are 18” x 8.5, and the rear is 18x10”, I’m assuming the new ones will be 19x10. I’m staying with the 18”
In the front.
Would you mind to share, the offset and the brand of your rims. CheersWell, heck, I am a sucker for beefier tires in the rear...so here's my set up:
18x10 F (285/40/18) and 18x11 R (315/40/18) --with a 3.3% difference front to rear. I've had no issues.

No problem. These are:
Front: 18x10 +40 with 285/40/18 tire
Rear: 18x11 +50 with 315/40/18 tire
These are 3PC forged aluminum, part of the CDM-3P model (Corsa Collection) from variantwheels.com.

Happy Thanksgiving BTW.
Not to sound ignorant about rims (but I am), are the offsets and such written on them? I’ll have to pull mine to look see when it goes to garage for new front tire install….
My rims are American Muscle Drift according to my car’s PO.
Alatalo...sorry for highjacking this post...
Adamborz, some wheels will have the offset stamped on the inside of the wheels (inside or behind one of the spokes, if applicable)...some will not. By the way, the offsets are in millimiters (mm). I am selling a set/ /pair I purchaed early on, that I ended up replacing because I wanted a deeper looking "lip" on the rear rims... here's the post:

Oh those are nice looking, I just purchased new 245/50/18 Nitto's online for my front wheels, and got a whole new set of the 305/35/19 (wheels and tires) coming that I bought with Michey Thompsons. I have the Drift style wheels I guess they are called but thanks. My front rims have some rash that I'm going to try and fix then paint match to the rears, or paint match the rears to the fronts depending which I like better gloss or matte. I'm thinking about doing my car up in matte black too.... decisions decisions....

Thank you.
Yeah, I guess the headline and the first sentence of the topic wasn’t very clear…

Sorry, my tires are 4.5% difference (larger in front actually).
Nah, you were clear, we just got side tracked. I am 3.3% difference front to rear. I've had no issues.

Don’t worry. Keep posting. I’m just messing with you…
But it’s indeed handy to collect this information in one thread. I can’t be the first one wondering…?
