Default 295/30/19 front and back?

I am considering running 295/30/19 on all four corners of my 93 TA. Will the 295's work on the front? I am running 275/40/17's now on all four corners with 17x9.5 wheels and want to go to 19x9.5's. I know 295's are a little wide for a 9.5" wheel but that's the widest you can get in a rpm 505 wheel.

Check out my post for my opinion on the matter. Your suspension will come in to play, as will the wheel offset. I personally would go 285/30/19 if you can get the tire you want in that size. Will look better on a 9.5" wheel, cheaper, and almost the exact same diameter as a 275/40/17.

I've got 295/30/19 in the back on 9.5 rims and nary a problem. They look good to. Can't help you on the front though as my fronts are 275's.

Hey, I am about to order 19's all around as well but I know not to go 295 all the way....My plan is to go 275's up front on a 10" rim and 295's in the back...How is that set up working for you?

Run a 295/30/19 back. A 295/35 is over an inch taller than stock

I know people have, and it may fit decent if you nail the offset. If you could hit around a +40 offset, it's probably going to fit on the inside, but I think it will stick out past flush a little bit on the outside. Also take in to account the diminished steering quality throwing a 295 up front.
