Hope you like an exceedingly rough ride and the very real possibility that you will ruin your rims when hitting a pot hole. Don't do it...

19's and 30 series work on the back. You could do a 275x30-19. With a 40+ offset.

Really? I'm running 255's, and I thought I was pushing it.

30 profile is just a ratio and it depends on how wide the tire is. Meaning the sidewall on a 245/30/19 tire will be considerably narrower than a 275/30/19.

Agreed, I should have clarified that before I made the statement I did above as I assumed he was sticking with 225's
