Tire help
I'm looking at a set of wheels that are 19 x 8.5 and 20 x 10. The standard size tire for a +1 increase is 225/35/19 front and 275/30/20 rear.
Here's my question. Let's say I didn't really want to lower my car, but I want to close the fender gap a little. What do you think about the look of this combination:
225/40/19 and 275/35/20
Here is the math: 225mm converted to inches = 225/25.4 * (the percentage of width) .40 = a tire section height of 3.78" vs. the 3.24 section height of a 225/35 series tire.
Very similar for the rear:
3.1" for 30 series
3.54" for the 35 series
I know this would slightly lower acceleration, but not by much.
Thoughts?
