255/40ZR19 & 285/35ZR19s....
Been running the typical 245/40ZR19 fronts and 275/35 rears.... need to buy some new tread and was thinking that I'd like a little wider rear still, so was thinking of going to a 285/35 rear with either the same fronts or maybe some 255/40s....
will the 255/40s fit up front pretty easy? I'm not lowered right now but will be putting on some coilovers soon and plan on keeping them up quite a bit, like 3/4" lower all around.
So:
1) What about the 285/35 for the rear.... I'm 99% sure I'm going this route,
and
2) What about 255/40s up front.
The 255/40 is a closer match (.10" difference) than the 245/40 (.20" difference).

ive decided on (and ordered) some Hankook Ventus V12 tires with a 285/35 in the rear. havent ordered the fronts yet. 275s up front would be extreme.... but nice though. i can feelthe fronts pushing still, even with 245s... wider up front would be better still.
wheel sizes are either 8.5/9.5 or 9/10, cant remember now.

from mfg site:
285/35 = 26.9"
275/35 = 26.8"
245/40 = 26.7"
255/40 = 27.1"
255/35 = 26"
245/35 = 25.8"
so, based on that, I'd say anything in the 35 range isnt ideal up front. stock tires are right at 27". im thinking the 255/40 is an ideal front tire as long as there are no issues with turning / rubbing.

the wheels in question here ar 19", but i agree that the 245s are the right tires to match up on the front, at least on paper. but in aggressive driving, the 245s seem to push a little more than id like. which makes me want a little wider tire which brings really the only alternative of 255/40/19s...
i just dont want rubbing, so i hope the 255s will give me what im looking for.
