I am very close to buying a set of 19" 8.5 front and 9.5 rear.

What size should I use for the rears? 255 or 265?

I need some advice.

The front is gonna be 235/35/19.

I would say 255 in the back to help reduce the risk of rubbing...unless you want to roll your fender. Then 265 would be good. I have heard both will fit, but the 265 is prone to rub when hitting bumps.

what rims are u going to get?
depending on the offset and tire shape... 265 shouldn't be a big problem... but I am not sure if the rear fenders on a cab is as wide as the coupe fender...

i am running 265 on a 10" wide rim without any rubbing issues...

Cab sits a little lower in the back too. Unless its a custom rim like Bluesky has, I would stick with the 255.

As far as the offset I am not even sure. I went to different websites and I got different info.

The front could be 35/40 and the rear could be 40/45:Idunno:

Rennsport just read my e-mail tonight so hopefully they can help.
