My new 19x11 wheels showed up today. They'll be getting 305/35/19s for the rear and going to move the stock rear 275/35/19s to the front (only have ~6k miles and plenty of tread). I'm on eibach .8" springs. Feel like I see a lot of both 30 and 35 and I always prefer the look of the meatier 35. For a stock suspension absolutely no question in my mind to go with 35. Will post pictures when I get them on...ordered some new TMPS sensors today so can't put tires on until those show up.

yea BC Forged rep advised 30's...H&R's aren't as low as the US pro kit eibachs so i'm probably about your height. i honestly think 35's would clear, but i'm hesitant atm.

305/30/19 for reference

for those running 305/35/19s what are you running as fronts? 275/35 or what?

I run 305/35/19 and 275/35/19. I had 275/30 up front but was too thin so went thicker. I love the thick look. H&R springs up front stock springs in the rear.

Thank you that was super helpful, I will be running my stock rears as fronts and getting a new set of rears 305/35/19. Much appreciated.

Last week I installed 305/35/19s on 19x11 +38 offset wheels with the Eibach .8" springs. I'm getting minor rubbing on compression on the inside. Might try a 3mm spacer or might just let it be. Also went with 275/35/19s for the front and I've encountered rubbing once or twice but very very minimal so I'm not going to worry about it. Realistically I'd like to swap the springs for coilovers one of these days and just dial height up slightly to avoid any rubbing.

Haven't taken any pics yet but the 35 profile looks great and I'm glad I went with it. Will post them up when I get around to it.

Spacers on front or rear?

Spacers on front or rear?

Currently no spacers. Considering trying 3mm spacers on the rear to avoid rubbing but also might just let the tires get a few hundred miles to see if it causes any actual issues or goes away as the tire wears.

What size rim are you running up front with that rim?

What’s causing the rubbing issue? Is it the height or springs? Also what are the wheel specs up front?

 

[gixxersixxerman]

I’m in the 305/35 camp also. Fronts are 255/35 the way the car came when I bought it from the PO, ill change them to 265/35 at least when its time to replace them.

Made the mistake of running 305/30 when I first got the Supra , after a few days I couldn’t stand how the rear tires weee thinner than the fronts so I switched to 305/35 and it looks 100x better

 

[Keemaca]

I’m planning to run 19x11+37 rear 19x10+24 front ,on coilovers. From the searching I’ve done these seem to be the specs I need based on what’s offered with the wheels I want. For tires I’m planning on the 305/35 rear and for front I know I want 35 sidewall also but what would be the width I need? And will I have anything rubbing or will it be plug and play?
