pics of 325/30r19 on 19x11

[E92inSG]

anyone tried 325/30r19 Michelin PS4S on 19x11 rears? I know they are going to be FAT. just wondering if anyone has photos so I can see exactly how fat on an F8x shape car.

I'm not concerned about fitment. I'm sure they will fit on my current setup. More about the aesthetics, ie will it look like TOO MUCH TIRE??

Thanks!

Is there ever such a thing as "too much tire" :

Here you go with R888Rs.
Read through to the 2nd track test.

Thanks man. Can’t believe I missed that in my search. I did see on rennlist a photo of 325/30 on 19x11 and it didn’t look horrible.

Even though the 325/30 MP4S is 13” wide and the wheel is 11” wide.

Here's a better pic that Signature gave as an example of their rear 19x11.5ET44/45 with Pilot Sport Cup 2 in 315/30R19. I see room for a 325.

PS: whomever owns this car...the red sport brake kit looks great inside those giant cans!

My concern is not so much on physical fitment. I’m certain it will fit with my 19x11 ET44 wheels.

Currently on 305/30 with 5mm spacer and there’s still space. So a 325/30 without spacer would be perfect in my opinion.

Just concerned that 13” tyres on 11” wheels would look too “balloony”, but that doesn’t seem to be the case thankfully

325 on a 11 looks bad. Side well will looks round-ish. At least 11.5. I have 12 with 325 trofro r will rub but not with 325 ps4s, I can take some pic tomorrow

This photo of 325/30r19 PS4S on 19x11 doesn’t look too bad

Well I really can't see the pic very clear as it's like 10 steps always from the car. But I can tell you I had 325 on 11.5 and 325 on 12, side wall on 12 looks much better because it's not round at all. ( not talking stretch, I don't like it) I will take pic tomorrow for you to see

[E92inSG]

this was the image i'm referring to. for sure i'm aware 11.5" would be a better choice

[guess2098]

If you on the left side of the tire, you see the wall is like this ( . Someone told me if wall like that you will feel "soft" because side wall are much more flexible

The wheel width is measured from the inside surfaces on the inner and outer lips where the tire bead contacts the wheel. Each wheel lip is 0.5” thick so the outer lip to outer lip width of a wheel is the specified width+1”. So an 11” wheel is actually 12” wide from outer lip to outer lip.

11.5 ET45 is what we recommend to run GT350R Cup2 315/30/19. Cup2 are wider than MP4S, so 325/30/19 might work under correct alignment. When running super sticky compound and lower tire pressure, always pair with antislip knurling bead tread wheels. If you don't have such wheels, go over the beads with a Scotch-Brite pad until the finish is dull. It helps slightly. Otherwise your balanced setup will be thrown off after a couple laps as tires will slip around the wheels under hard braking and acceleration.

This is a hardcore track setup, competition in Australia.

What are we pairing the the front with to compliment the rears?

I am 265/35/19 now but haven't found a larger size that's a good match. Running 305s in the rear.

I tried 275/35/19 in the front before and the steering got that heavy feeling. It would have been okay if I tracked the car but I'm street/highway/drag oriented. When I went back to 265s that nimble and agile feeling returned. With the right spacing (ET22-25 on a 9.5in wheel) the 265 looks flush, just like the rears.

The only downside to the big tread width difference is tram-lining...when I drive on some crappy rutted/grooved roads you can feel the back tires move side to side in the ruts. You get used to it real quick and learn to stay out of the dented road spots.

325/30/19 is 26.7 which a little bit bigger than 265/35/19 26.2. 305/30/19 is 26.3 about same size. 19 inches rim I think is perfect for f8x.

Or can go 275/30/19 which is 25.7 to match 305/30/19 in rear
