17x9.5/11 combo.

Re: 17x9.5/11 combo.

I just installed these 19x11 Corvette wheels this week on 295/30/19 tires. I used a 1.5" spacer in the back and nothing in the front for the 18x9.5...fyi

295's are way to small for the width of that wheel, IMHO... Its TOO close to looking like those ricer dudes with the stretched tires and the horrible alignment :rotf: I'm not up to speed on the 19 inch wheel tire sizes but you need a 315-325 mm width rear tire size to look correct on a 11" wide wheel..

I was going to put 305/30/19 on the back, but my local Les Schwab guy talked me out of it (we was only mounting whatever used tires I brang him, not selling me new tires)...said he looked up Vette wheels and they came stock with 295, so 305 would be difficult to install/uninstall..

You may be right as there's more lip showing than I expected. I will take the Ty to him and see what he says.

You can run up to a 345 wide tire on that 19x11 rim. So 305-315-325-345 anything would work. it really depends on the front tire that you use so you can match the revolutions per mile so they are the same or very close.

Good luck,
Nick

Thanks for this info!! I'm going to have to edumacate by Les Schwab buddy... I definitely would have picked up the locally available 305s had he not steered me into these 295s
