326 wheels RFT tire size

[VailM3]

Hey all, anyone happen to know the stock RFT size for the 326 5 spoke wheels?

[ManiacGT]

225 35 19 front
255 30 19 rear

Though I personally intend to go 235/265 on my next set as 225 and 255 don't look right on the rims, they look skinny and just need a little extra.

That's just because it just doesn't look big enough? Also putting on 10mm spaces is good idea or....

Well the above sizes looked ok on my 296. But when I put them on my 313's the rim protector of the tyre, well, just doesn't look right any more. The tyres look to be sat in at the rims a little. I've already (yes already) slightly scuffed one wheel, hence why I want slightly fatter tyres when I change to non RFTs...

I see what you mean there I put a 1 inch scratch on my back right myself for being to quick turn in at a parking (at home naturally) I might for for the extra width myself.

Guys, the right size to have both tires/tyres having the same diameter is 235 35 19 front and 275 30 19 rear. That's what I am ordering right now...

Nope. We have 8" front, 9" rear. According to the specs, they will fit.

Marcw has this size on his car by the way.

so sold on the front 235/35 what would be the difference between the 265 and 275 rears?

I'll see what the prices are like at change time but I'm happy to stick with a bit more width and not go too mad, I'll likely end up with rubbing or something daft.

Trust me 275s do not rub. (not with stock suspensions that is)
265 have a smaller diameter than the front at 235 so to make them match, 275 is the way to do.
You might get a bit more understeer but still less than with the RFTs.
