ACE ALLOYS/Rim Width/Tire

I'm looking at set of Ace Alloys Z06 reps and the sizes are 18x9.5 front and 19x11 rear, just wondering if the stock tires (245/40R18 / 285/40R19) will work, the tire manufacture list the front will fit up to 9.5 and 11 rears, just seeing if anyone is running this set up.

Thanks

The stock sized will fit, though it will result in a stretched tire look.

There are some options for wider ties, though the most popular seems to be 265/35 front and 305/30 rear.

Rim Width

Thanks for the info, I have a brand new set of Michelin tires on my car currently and don't really want to purchase new tires, hopefully they won't be to bad.

Thanks

If the manufacturer lists as acceptable, you should be fine, safety wise. As mentioned the tire will be stretched, as this is on the upper end of the limit of the tire, which you typically don't install. It will look a little weird, and handling will actually be a little sharper, incidentally, but I wouldn't worry about it.
