Arrow Tire question

hey guys--

i want to get some NT05s for my 19x9 advans but am not sure the sizes they offer will work for me.

They have 245/30/19, 245/40/19, 275/30/19, and 275/35/19

i'm on 235 proxes now and they're crazy stretched so i would like to ditch those and get something wider but i don't think 245 is enough and 275 might be too big. it seems like 255 or 265 would be ideal but Nitto says they won't be making those sizes for awhile longer since the molds cost like $300k each..

here's some pics of my buddy's 245 NT05s on an 8.5" wheel for reference:





i couldnt find any pics of these tires on a 9" rim for comparison..

thoughts?

275's will be fine. do it if the offsets fit.

275 will work, but like you said 255 265 would be a better option

I've had 275's as well as 265's on a 18x9 inch wheel. The 275's will be fine but your more likely to run into rubbing problems depending on the offset..
