Default Tire pic request!!

I am looking for a 295 or 285/30 on a 19x11 wheel. Rather have a close up rather than a 20 footer. Looking for what buldge it has or has not.

Thanks

go wider! 11" wheel is good for a 315.

I wish but this is for fitment on the front of a C4. May be some one will have some good pics of a 295. Its also a height issue.

here's 295/30s on a 10" rim, zero bulge so I'd say you're good!

Your bulge depends on the offset. The right 11" wheel does tuck under the wheel well (tire rim guard and all!)

See my CCWs with a 295/19 tire and 11" rim. The big difference between mine and the SP500 posted above is he is running a 3" lip and I am running a 2" lip. Using the same 2x4 test I would guess he is running 1/2" outside the wheel well. Which is pretty standard for the CCW "standard" offset w/ 3" lip.
