Tire Issue? Or not?

But stretching a tire lowers it's overall diameter so it's possible to have the same size tire on all 4 corners but have different overall diameters

That's what I thought. Because the wheels are 19x9 F and 19x10 R. This would make for different overall circumference front to rear. But is it safe to drive this way? Or am I asking for trouble?

Your fine, just don't try to rotate the rims front to back! you *could* have some clearance problems...

buy the right sizes when you replace them

Making the assumption that "the wheels" are the staggered BMW Style 132 19" wheels...see the chart below after running that wheels' specs (width/height/offsets) with the same size tires mounted.

Looks like once mounted...the tire's width is the same at the bottom (where the rubber meets the road )...and the overall height/diameter will still be the same (29.1")...even though the rear tires are stretched over a slightly wider wheel.

Hope this helps calms any fears. The wheel/tire calculator site used was: Custom rims, wheel tire packages for your ride - RIMSnTIRES.com

My wheels are actually the Style 63 19's. Which are still 19x9 and 19x10. So the specs should be the same. I can surely breathe easier now. Thanks for all the info.
