Sorry, I missed your widths when I first posted. Too much wine! Anyway, I have Wheel Dynamics RPK-038 19's and they have a completely different configuration as they are "deep dish". I run 19x8.5 (et. 45) & 19x10.5 (et. 52) 235/35R19 Front 275/30R19 Rear. As mentioned my fenders are rolled and rubbing is not an issue. You really need to know the width of the rim. Tires can make a difference as Oldcarguy mentioned. Even though the numbers might be the same, various sidewall/tread patterns can work, while others might not. Another "issue" is trying to keep the overall tire diameter close to the original tire height

Thanks for the input. I'm going to do some more research before I buy any. I may just have to go with the size I have but they look stretched to me.
Thanks

Maybe we could start with the tires on the front. I removed one of the front wheels. They are 19x8.5 with a 57 offset. Anyone running a like wheel?
