Default Rear Tire Size

OK Guys I have 335/30/18 on the rear and really like the look, Im thinking about going to a 19' wheel on the rear so I would like to see pictures from you guys that have 19's on the rear and let me know what size tire you are running.

I like to have a 325/30/19 or even a 335/30/19, Im not sure but I think the 335 wont fit on a 19 X 11 wheel.

I know must of you run a 305, post pictures also ! !

Thanks,

While some fool will force a 325/30/19, or wider on a 11'' wheel, they won't make a full footprint, which means less traction, so what is the point? They will also stick out, so a tub is in order with correct width/offset wheels. A 325 requires at least a 12'' wide wheel to make the tire work.
