Tire suggestion

Hi all.
I have the black machined stock wheels 19x8.5 with 245/45-19 tires.

There is an aftermarket wheel that is the same but is 19x10. What tire size do you recommend? 275/40? Any suggestions for a wider tire size?

This is what they look like.

Sorry if this is some other thread. I looked. Thanks!

Foose Outcasts are very close, but as far as I can tell they're only available in 20".

275/40 will match the overall height with the 245/45. 285/35 will be .75 or so shorter but if you replace your fronts with 255/40 they will be approximately the same height.

I agree with Lon. 275/40 if you want taller sidewall, or 285/35 if you want more grip and stiffer sidewall.

Also you should know your stock center caps won't fit, and the finish won't be 100% exact to the stock wheels. If you like them, just get the full set...

Thanks! I'll just leave well enough alone and it will save me around $900. I wanted a close if not exact match so I won't be getting them.
