I think the only draw back would be the cost for new tires?

the draw back is, you're running tires too big for your wheels

What ever size you go with, make sure the fronts are no more than 3% smaller than the rear, other wise your VDC will go nuts.

Or the slim possibility of having the tire slip off the rim in a hard turn.

OP: 255 is the safe route, 265 MAY even work fine. There are a few members running 275's and claim zero issues but its not something I would risk doing.

Do you have any pictures of this setup? I'm thinking about going the same tire sizes, and wanted to see what it looks like (mainly the wheel gap, as my car is not lowered). Thanks.

Wise choice grasshopper. Remember...Just because you can do it doesn't make it a good idea.

245/35/19 on 19"x8.0" +30 no spacers



255/35/19 on 19"x8.5" +33 no spacers
