Hi there,

Your offsets are good, but your TIRE DIAMETERS are WAY OFF.

So this is what you would need to do:


Front: 235/35/19 or 255/30/19

Rear: 265/30/19 or 275/30/19 is my suggestion.

The 285/35/19 is WAY TALL and you will get into boost much later.

boost won't be a problem for a v8

i rather a 35 series tire, so i guess i'm gonna have to go with a 235 up front and a 275 in the back...

Then stick with 18s...a 275/35 19 will be a full 1.75 inches too tall!

Exactly what Ryn implied. Also keep in mind that staying within a "series" of tire may not produce the exact results you are hoping for. THe "series" is a ratio = percentage called "aspect ratio". This ratio is a percentage of the tire's width. In other words a wider, lower series tire can be the same "sidewall height" as a thinner higher series tire.

Hope that makes sense. THis is why a 225/50/16 and a 245/45/16 basically produce the same sidewall heights.
