19 " tire and wheel sizes
#1
![Default](/forum/images/icons/icon1.gif)
My car has factory equipped 19" wheels but the tire sizes are different front & rear 245 40 R19 front vs. 255 40 R19 rear. Does anybody know if the front and rear wheels are different widths ? or is it a different tire size on the same wheels ?
I ask because i need to replace the rear tires and the previous owner was a bit of an idiot and I would not be surprised if he paid no attention when getting tires replaced.

Thanks ...I got the tire sizes off the console sticker. My concern was that the previous owner ( a twit ) may not have taken care when replacing tires and may have switched wheels front to back
If the wheels are in fact different widths I shall just be careful to measure the width before replacing the tires

Your Wheels are 19" Apollo Wheels. Front size 19"X 8".....Rear 19 X 9"
Your Tires should be: Front - 245/40-19 Rear - 255/40-19 Hey! that's the same size the "idiot" had on it! Well! How about that?
Anything else? Just let me know! Oh! Brand of Tires should be Continental DWS, if you live where it's cold.....If not, get DW's

Mr. Tucker,
I believe the original question was: " Does anybody know if the front and rear wheels are different widths ? or is it a different tire size on the same wheels ?" Did I not answer your question?
Is it cold up there or something?

Barry,
Some people don't understand what to do when Wheels are of different widths....Even the Guys at the Tire Store! Every time I go to Discount Tire to have the Air Pressure checked and I hand them my Little "T" screw-driver and the screw-in Valve for my BBS "Montreal" Wheels......Most of them just stand there with a big question mark on their face.....It's a learning experience each and every time......and when I replace the Tires, they can't believe the XKR has (2) different sizes of Tires......Same as your Apollo's...
Probably what happened to the "Young Man" that owned your Jag was the Guy who sold him the Tires didn't know the difference and therefore sold him the same size all-a-round.......Not everybody knows what the Jaguar Guy knows!
Oh! It's 45 here in Houston @ 9PM and is going down to a cold 33 by 6AM....Now, Let me tell you, Barry....In Texas, that's "COLD"!
