Default 345/35-19 possible?

Hey guys. I'm really wanting to go with a 18/19 rim combo very shortly, and I'm looking for a 345 with a 35" tall tire for a 19. I wanted to go with a Mickey Thompson ET street radial but I think they only make 345/35/18. I like the taller tire look in the back. Anyone know brands who make them? Would they even work? Or would I be best with going with 18s all around and run the MT ET 345/35? Car is flared and ready to do the final step, new shoes!!

Thanks!

I'm running 345/30/19's on my car...but I'm confused on your post. You say you want a 35" tall tire, but you want a 345/35/19 which is a 28.5" tall tire...my 345/30 is a 27.1" tall tire. You confusing aspect ratio with tire height?





Here is my old 4runner on some 35" tall tires...lol...you trying to roll some of these...BFG makes nice ones...lol...

is this for cosmetics or performance? if it's performance you would save a lot just using a softer compound on a 295-305 tire

Maybe these were the 35" tires he had in mind?







I think a 345/35/19 might be a bit too tall and there are aren't any DR's made in that size. I've only seen the RE050A and P Zero Corsa in that size, and both are expensive because I think it's a Ferrari specific size, so you might be better off going for the 345/35/18 if you want the sidewall and/or need the traction. Looked great on 0H1Z06's car

Yes sorry I mistaked the 35 for a 35" tall lol. I just wanted something with more tire out back but to still be able to run a 19 inch rim

He has flared fenders

345/35 is noticeably taller than 345/30... do you have the room for it?

I'm hoping I do. Just put flares in, and took out the brake ducts, was told they should clear!

simply in the name of unsprung weight and rotational mass I wouldn't do the 345/35 vs the 345/30.
