Tire height and width are the deciding factor. Aim for a tire around 25.5 inches tall front and rear and you should be fine with a width of 275 or less. The max you could run without trial or error from my experience would be a 295 up to 26.5 in. tall rear and 275 at 25.5ish front.

I believe most run 245s front 275s rear or 275s all around. I hope that helps, sometimes im back at explaining things so you can PM me.

If the tire fits what i said it will work.

I used to have 19's front and rear on my old car, no problem at all, but damn rough ride.

I currently have 19x9.5 rears with 275/30/19 and there is plenty of room. in fact I am thinking of sending them out to get widened an inch for 305/30/19s
