Alternate winter tire sizes for 788 wheels and stock suspension

DriftKr6l · 09-13-2022, 05:00 PM

Has anyone run different than stock sizes on your 788 wheels with stock suspension? I'm thinking of going with FRONT:235/40 R19 and REAR:255/40 R19 since there are more options out there. Calculator shows the front overall diameter will be 0.6" bigger, and rears will be 0.7", wondering if that's enough to rub

I’m running 235/35 and 255/35 on 788s. Heard stock size rubs with blockier tread from winters so downsized and haven’t had any rubs. I’m also lowered and no rubs so should fit fine on stock suspension.

Can you share a pic of how the rear 255/35 look on the wheels, wondering how much stretch there is.
