How (dangerously) stretched would a 275/35R19 tire be on a 19x11 wheel (my DH w/HP)

[mks]

I am looking into a winter wheel/tire set up--e.g., Steeda Tridents 19x10 all around.

However, I happen to have a set of 275/35R19 winters still in excellent condition. As such, I was toying with the idea of trying to fit them on my DH (with the HP wheels: 19x10.5F / 19x11R). I don't do a lot of driving in the winter--mostly errands, but no long hauls and certainly no "sporty" driving.

Not worried about the fronts--I've run that spec before. But, wondering if anyone has any experience with a 275/35 on a 19x11 wheel...

I quick Google search shows that would be at the limit of the recommended minimum tire size for an 11 inch wheel. It probably would work but but if it were me I'd be concerned using the absolute minimum tire size on that wheel. I guess it comes down to if you are comfortable with that. Maybe try to sell them if your worried about the cost of them going to waste. Cheers

Yup, ran the same search. So, I was looking to see if anyone had any experience. I know that tire size is the min limit. I've run min limit configs in the past, but not on the DH.

It'll be fine other than looking weird. Guys do 255's on 11" wheels and probably even smaller

Yeh, was thinking the same thing. Not sure I care all that much. Maybe I'm just being cheap--wanting to use up a set of Winters that I would otherwise have no use for.

Should be fine though the wheel will be a bit more exposed. I would check the tire manufacturer for their recommended maximum wheel width for the tire sizes to be sure.

11" is the max for a 275/35/19...its going to be stretched but still listed as safe.
