Default how wide of a tire on 19" g8 rims

Hey guys I have a 2006 brazen orange goat. It has the 19" g8 wheels . With the stock g8 tires, anyone know offhand how wide of a tire we can go with this setup? Cars getting cammed and heads as we speak to go along with the nitrous and its gonna blow these stockers off for sure, thanks for your help

If they are 8" wide, then 255 at the most. Any bigger and you're just wasting tire and money as the tread won't actually get to the ground and just be bulged up in the sidewall.

Agreed. I ran 265 on the stock 18x8 wheels, but I wouldn't do it again.

For the street I use a 275/30/19 on 9.5" wheel.
For track work I change to 265/35/18 on 9.5" wheel.
I drag on 8" factory wheels with 265/40/18, however I drive it sedately on the street and give turning a lot a respect.


Personally I wouldn't go any bigger than 245 on a 8" wheel.
