I'd highly recommend rereading this thread or do a search within this thread for "19x11" and "+37". You will see most F80 cars run a maximum of a 295 rear tire. The F80 wheel arch can accept a little less tire than an F82 chassis. Most people are choosing a 265/35/19 and 295/30/19 rear which is not ideal whatsoever, but seems like it's working  .
Providing tire size recommendations start with choosing one specific tire, since all tires brands/models may measure differently. With that said, I am assuming we are talking about the Michelin PS4S tire. A 275/30/19 front and 295/30/19 rear would probably be your best bet with your indicated wheel widths/offsets as it satisfies most parameters the best; the sidewall thickness is on the skinnier side, but still not unacceptable. A 305-wide tire is a little too wide for the 11" +37 unless you are OK with a little rubbing at extreme circumstances and adding some considerable extra camber to get it to fit. A 265/35 and 295/35 would be ideal, but like you said the 295/35 PS4S has a very narrow tread width (less than a 285/35). The downsides of the 275/30 front is the sidewall height is a little on the skinny side but not terrible. A 265/30 is definitely too skinny. |
I got a set of 18x10.5 +30 Sagas and unfortunately already on KWv3. Would like to fit 295/35, but need to convert my from springs to linear. I can't seem to find any real good info on how to do that. Any ideas?
