Going to 19" wheels
 

Wanting to change to 19 inch wheels. Going with 19x12, 345/30/19 in the rear. Now need a tire match back in height, 19x8 wheel in front. Any info would nice. Thanks!

Big tire!
Short and wide too!
Didn’t know there was room for a 16inch wide tire on a step side.
Did you measure carefully?

It is tubbed! Just need to figure out which tire and back spacing on the front.

A 245/40-19 is close in height (26.7 vs 27.2") & would work on an 8" wheel.

Re: Going to 19" wheels
 

Tire size ÷ 25.4 = width in inches.

Multiply that number by the aspect ratio. 35 series for example = x .35. 40 series would be .40

That gives you your sidewall height in inches

Multiply the sidewall height x2 (top of the tire, and bottom of the tire)

Add your wheel diameter

That's your total overall height. Try it.

For example. 345/30r19

345÷25.4 = 13 58 in wide
X .30 = sidewall is 4.07 in tall
X2
+19
Overall = 27.14

Adjust as necessary to find your match. I like to put a slightly larger sidewall height on the rear than on the front.. it just looks more proportional in my opinion. It is one thing to have a big wide tire on the rear but if the sidewall on the rear tires is shorter than the front it will be pretty obvious.

Also - if you have a 12" wheel in the rear, and an 8" wheel up front. I'd try to put a 4" narrower tire up front too.

245 is 9.64 wide. Prob what I'd go with.

245/40 has a 3.85 sidewall. 245/45 is 4.33. (Remember your rear sidewall is 4.07)

255/40 would be close too. 10.03 wide, 4.01" sidewall.

Then of course your wheel diameter.

255/40r19 is 27.03 in overall
245/40r19 is 26.71
245/45r19 is 27.68

I am posting from my phone so I can't promise my math is right.. so double check me. And of course there will be slight variations in size by tire brand. But this will give you a general idea. Hope this helps.
