    Hi all,
    I am wondering if these size tyres will fit on my 355 without any problems.
    235 x 35 x 19 9front)
    295 x 35 x 19 (rear)

    Is that the right profile for front and back

    The thread should be called "Tyre AND wheel size" mate. I have seen them sizes on 18 inch wheels but not as yet on 19s. Boy there big!:)

    I am running 225-35/19 fronts and 275-35/19 rears. I will be changing the rear to 295-30/19 when replacements are required.

    So are you saying that they will definitely fit, or are you hoping they fit?
    What wheels are you running and are they the standard 355 of-set? Which is an important aspect when fitting large tyres.

    I would recommend consulting your local tire shop.

    The 295-30/19 have been fitted to the rear of 355's plenty of times before, a few F-chatters have this size on their 355's. The off-set of the rim will effect the fitment, if the rims are the correct off set for the width of the rim and vehicle fitment then you will have no problem running the correct tire size for that rim. A 295 on a 10inch wide rim is by no means pushing it. My current 275's are on a slight inward stretch, we are talking a extra 10mm ether edge, not a huge increase.

    IMO 10mm is a huge increase especially on a 355 using 19in rims with 295 tyres. 10mm enough to rub the wheel arch with a wrong of set. Thats why i am curious.
    You never said if you were running the standard 355 of set with your 19 inch wheel, are you?
    Can any of the "plenty" of 19in 295 355 owners post a picture up for us to see and cast any light on the of set of the wheel compared to the standard measurement being used please?
    This idea sounds good:)

    Sorry for the slow reply, I am not exactly sure of the offset of my rims, they sit a touch wider than stock in my opinion but that is based on just "looking" as apposed to measuring anything.

    I will be talking with my tire shop tomorrow as i have a plan in the making for a change to my rim/tire combo and i will see if they can fit up a 295 for me just to make sure i have clearance. Ill report back once i have tried the tire on.
