Darkpaw Posted October 6, 2021 Report Share Posted October 6, 2021 Right now I'm running 235/55R19s on my Blacktop 19" rims (same ones as R/T rims, but black). I'm at the point of replacing them, and want to go back to the stock size in front (because they're lighter), and run with 255/50R19 in the rear. I don't have AWD, so the different sizes isn't an issue. The question is, will a 255/50 actually fit on the OEM rims? It's pretty wide. I know that I've seen posters on here running 245/55R19, but is anybody running 255s? Or have they tried it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2late4u Posted October 7, 2021 Report Share Posted October 7, 2021 (edited) https://tiresize.com check for yourself BUT yes they will fit just barely .... has been discussed here look in the wheels and tire area Edited October 7, 2021 by 2late4u Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkpaw Posted October 7, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2021 I don't really see where specifically on that site that it shows what the max size is that will fit on the rim, only tire size calculators (there are lots of those around). wheel-size.com says that the rims are 19x7, but that doesn't seem right. Most tire size calculators also only seem to show the full width of the tire, but not the width of the edge, which would be the mount point on the rim (which is important, for pushing limits like this).

Darkpaw Posted October 7, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2021 Sure enough, in the wheels & rims area of this forum, there are posts with pics of people using 255/50R19, so it looks like they will fit. They look good, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Appalachian Journey Posted October 14, 2021 Report Share Posted October 14, 2021 You want different sizes front and rear or only buy two tires at a time and will eventually end up with four of the same? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnOConghaile Posted November 17, 2021 Report Share Posted November 17, 2021 They fit. I have them. Full lock in reverse get a tiny bit of scrubbing but all good otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
