285s vs 305s
So I got new 285s on my rear but I heard the stock 19s can fit 305s. So in theory a bigger tires is a better tire for grip. But would I even notice the difference?

The base stock rear rims are 10" and will fit 305 tires with an aspect ratio of "35". However, the 305 tire with an aspect ratio of "30" recommends a 10.5" rim because the tread width is wider and the shoulder of the tire will roll up on a narrower rim. Always check the tire manufactures rim range recommendation. :cheers:

I just was told it would fit. I dont know much about that stuff. Guess I got some bad info.

I used 9 inch front rims and 11 inch rears. |

As the chart shows a 11 inch width rim is needed for a 305 tire. Yes the 305 tire will fit on a 10 inch rim bit it isn't recommended. |

no you didn't get bad info.the 305/35x19 works perfectly on the factory 10" rim

Tread width = better cornering, but less straight line traction Height = better mileage, but less acceleration (gear ratio affected) |

Bigger is better in terms of what?

However, a lower profile tire does not benefit straight line traction. But increasing tread width on the same profile will benefit straight line traction. Compare the base with Z51 (285 rear tires) and the GS (325 rear tires), the GS resulted in better 0-60 times. |
If you're looking for drag radials, there aren't a lot of choices in 19" sizes. 305-35-19 Nitto NT05R are a good choice |
