Default Question about tire size for 19" propeller wheels

I have 19" propeller wheels, and I was wondering if Hankook Ventus V12 285/35/19 would fit the rear wheels. I'm concerned about the tire wear charge at the end of the lease as my OEM Pirellis tires have only 70% thread despite having only 1,000 miles. I think it will be better to change to new tires and put on the Pirellis near the end of the lease. Thank you.

The 285 will look a little pinched but can safely be mounted on a 9.5" wide rim. If you have an AWD, you might have to also increase the front from 245 to 255 to avoid throwing a code.

What's the largest tire width we can install on the fronts and backs of the 19" Propellers?

Fronts are 8.5 wide and backs are 9.5.

Edit: Should probably add that I have the +17 mm motorsport tech spacers. Although, if whoever is answering could post sizes for both with and without spacers, I'm sure it would help someone down the road.

It is not recommended to exceed 255 and 285 on the 19x8.5 and 19x9.5 respectively. Those will definitely fit without the spacers. Regarding fit with the spacers, I would need to know the offsets for the 19" wheels. I only have that info for the 20" wheels (52mm and 38mm)

I had the same thought and removed the Pirellis immediately after delivery, swapped for a set of Michelin PSS.

Have subsequently decided to sell the set of 19" Pirelli tires rather than saving them for lease end, if this helps you in any way. In the marketplace here ==> https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/p...f-type-186030/

Seems to be 49 for the fronts and 27 for the rears.

Edit: The front will be no problem going to a 255 with the spacers. Going to 285 on the rear will be ok if you haven't lowered the car. If you have, either stick with 275 or you need to figure out how to use a 10mm rear spacer. Three options:
1. Use a 6mm wheel centric spacer...the studs are long enough to safely handle that.
2. Find some long necked lug nuts (5-10mm longer than OEM) and enlarge the stud holes on a 10mm wheel centric spacer, or
3. Install longer studs (5-10mm longer) in the hub and use a standard wheel centric 10mm spacer.
