Max tire width for '08 coupe 19" stock wheels

Thinking of putting some blizzaks on for dirty winters in jersey (watch..we won't get an inch this year if I do this..lol) Would a 245 F and 275 R look funny on the stock wheels?? Was even thinking of just doing a 265 R, since just for winter. dont have a beater and want to take my GT30's off until next spring and keep them on the Toyos! I looked at the min/max rim widths for the blizzaks the OEM specs fell within the range...but just wondering if anyone else did it and how it looked?

BTW...gonna have 4 practically new toyo T1R's coming FS once I get the old stock rims off them and put on winter tires, but they are 225/40/19 & 245/35/19...lucky if they only have 1500 mi on them, can still see the colored wear markings!!

245 and 275 look fine on stock wheels. Better than oem size IMO

245/40-19 and 275/35-19 probably the most common fitment on the board.

Yea like everyone else said the 245 in the front and 275 in the rear will work fine. I am going to try putting a 255 up front and see how it will work. I want as much tread on the ground as I can when I track it.

255 cant be had in a low enough ratio to match the circumference of the 275 rears.
Which means the lowest 255 will be taller than the 275, causing ABS and VDC issues.
245 and 275, have no more difference in diameter, as the stock 225 and 245 combo.

If you're running snow tires, you're going to want to go as skinny as possible, not as wide as possible. You'll get better snow traction with skinnier tires.

I've seen 245 in the front and 285 in the rear according to tirerack as an optional tire size. Would this configuration impact ABS and VDC?

Not trying to hi jack a thread, but would 295/30/19 be possible on a 19 x 11 wheel if you do a high offset of +45?

Im running 245F/275B on stock S coupe rims. No issues with sensors or rubbing but have noticed my shifting and accelaration seems to lag. Figured it was the bigger tire footprint.
