Widest Tire on 19" X 8.5" Factory Wheels?
What's the Widest tire that can safely be put on a 19" X 8.5" Factory GT wheel? I have 245/45-19 on all 4 corners right now.

I had a 255/40-19 on my 19x8.5 and it was fine.

I wouldn't recommend any wider than 255's for 8.5" wheels..

The Performance Package V6 has the same wheels as the CS/GT (different color is all) and comes with 255/40r 19's. I had 275/40r 19s on mine and they handled like crap so not recommended. I went up to a 9 inch wheel for those tires.
