19 x 10 Boze

My 19 x 10 Bozes just arrived. I did a deep research, but couldn't find a solution.
What should be my tires?
I think for the rears it will be 285/30/19, but I couldn't find for fronts. According to the calculators it should be 245/35/19, but it CAN'T be because of the 10" wide. Any opinion?
Chucky are you still here? : )

Why did you buy 10" wide wheels for all four corners, knowing that you wanted to run a narrow tire in the front? It would seem to make more sense to but a narrower wheel for the front if you want to run a narrower tire.

The problem was about manufacture. I had 2 choices 19 x 8" or 19 x 10", If I want to go with 19 x 9", The wheel should be 3 pieces ($$$$$$$$), So I choosed 19 x 10" for fronts too.

Any suggestion about the size? I tought 265/35/19 for fronts, I think I can't go with narrower than that right?

I'd see if you could return a pair of the 19x10's and trade them for a pair of 19x8's for the front. That way you could run the narrower tire and have less risk of rubbing the tire every time you go around a corner.

I'm sure you could, but it would cost an arm and a leg most likely to send them back and have replacements sent to you. Which wheel is it? I'd like to see what they look like.

That's a nice looking set of wheels. They should look great on the car.

Well I hope you get the reccommendations you need so you can get some tires on them. I can't wait to see pictures of the car with the wheels installed.

You shouldn't go below a 265mm section width. You will be looking at 265/30-19 (a bit smaller than stock diameter) or 265/35-19 ( larger than stock diameter).

What tire fits on what wheel width is determined by the tire manufacturer, and can vary by manufacturer, or even among different models of tires from the same manufacturer.

with expensive wheels like that, I would go with slightly taller tires to protect them a little more.

They look nice!
