Tire size consensus for 8 and 9.5x19 ZCP wheels

I was thinking 245 35 19 and 275 30 19.

Comments?

spot on, sir!

if you're careful... some tire brands have 285's that fit 9.5 widths, but you may have to do some research to see which ones work for you. Hankooks for sure have them. however, if you're doing any susp mods, 275 is pretty much the max.

OK, I'm doing some of this same research. I have the same rims (ZCP). The issue is that I need to run PSS's (I'm sold on those!), and they do NOT have a 285/30. I currently have Hankook 285/30 and 245/35's. Really like the look, but the Hankook's need to go. My options in PSS are:

1) as stated above, go with a 275/30 in the back and the same 245/35 in the front. Problem is, the rear tire height is now lower than the front. perhaps not enough to notice.

2) go a little taller, and stay with a 285/35 in the back, and a 245/40 in front. May cause rub issues if I lower? anyone done this combo?

3) go to 275/30 in back, but use a 235/35 in front. That way the front and rear tire height is a closer match.

Anyone running any of these combos? appreciate any feedback...
