19 inch rims - Tork Revos tire size assistance
#1
![Default](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/icons/icon1.gif)
So i purchased some rims because the deal was simply too good to pass up.
The guy selling the rims didn't even know what they were, only that they were bolted to his 94 trans am.
due to help on this site, i found out they were Tork Revos.
here are the specs on the revos off the website.
Size: 19x8 bolt pattern 120 lip 2" offset 35mm
Back tires:
Size 19x9 bot pattern 120 lip 3.25" offset 40mm
here are the odd things:
on all four tires he was running 265/30/19
on the back 19x9 the inside of both tires had been rubbed enough almost to take about a inch of tread off the tire. the rims weren't rubbing but I bet he was driving around rubbing the entire time? that is my assumption.
so my question- what size of tires should i buy - I simply want these rims to fit without having to add spacers. I'm okay with doing the BFH mod.

I was hoping to run into someone running that setup on Evos.
you think 275/30/19 all around?
or should i go with 245/35/19 in the front and 275/30/19 in the back?
Additionally how is the ride? I have level II bilstein suspension package that came with the firehawk and it is rough...im worried once I put on the 19s it will be too much. (currently on 17s)

Well, on a 8" rim, I'd run 255s at most. As for the ride, it is going to be rougher since the tire sidewall plays a role in overall suspension rate. If you go with a softer sidewall, you run the risk of damaging the wheel due to the short sidewall if you hit a hard bump.
It's all a compromise. Worst case scenario, run it as it sits now and see if you like it. If it's ok, then swap a new set of tires on. If you don't like it, sell the wheels and get a set of 18s that have more of a sidewall.

I think I'm gonna go with a slightly staggered look of 245/35/19 and then 275/35/19 in the back. That way I get a little more sidewall than I would if I ran 30s in the back. It will be two weeks or so before I get them together, but I'll post pics and how the ride turned out.

Yeah I hope its not too rough. I am going to place the order tomorrow I think. 245/35/19 in front and 275/35/19 in back- I shouldn't have rubbing with that right? the extra 30->35 in the back shouldnt be a problem? My car is not lowered currently. I also think the extra sidewall might help fill out hte wheel well a little better, so it wont look like the rims are too big.

You could try the same thing, if you need to. You would want to set yours at about 26.15" or for tire size put in 305/30/19 which is = to 26.15".
