225/35/19 v 225/40/19 thoughts?

2wheelsrbetter · 11-26-2012, 11:44 AM

if one was to run a 225 up front on an 8.5, w/ oem sport suspension, would a 35 or 40 make more sense?
thx

anyone have an opinion of 35 being too low an aspect ratio for a 225 or 40 being too tall up front?
i'll be running 265/35 out back. and yes those will fit fine.

What would happen if it was too tall?
Would it cause rubbing issues?
If you didn't mind the speedo being out a little. Would it be ok?

Yes, taller tires could rub.
