Will it look fat?

Bounceme · 04-18-2016, 11:38 AM

Hi guys.
I have been searching both here and on Google, but i can't seem to find the photo that can help me decide.
I'm about to buy 19" alloy's 8,5 front and 9,5 rear, but i would really like to put 245/35 (instead of 235/35) on the front, and 275/30 (instead of 265/30) on the rear.
The problem is that i don't know if it will look fat or flush.
PLS help with pictures.
Thanks in advance.
Allan

Looks great. That's what I run. Fat is subjective though.

Exactly what I run. Doesn't look fat at all.

Those are the ideal manufacturer recommended sizes of wheel width for those tires by the way. The current trend has been to stretch for looks. Not a fan as it reduces performance just like to wide a tire does. Looks like the tiny tires sticking out on corollas 20 yrs ago to me. This will pass as do all fad looks.
