Can get a real good price on these, just curious if anyone has tried it before. thank you for your help.

 

Tire diameter on the fronts is inch and a half smaller... Use this tire calculation tool...

im sorry i meant 235/35 and 265/30 the front diameter is .5 smaller both tires will be within .2 inches of one another. I know i will have less sidewall but will it still be okay?

 

After going to look at a 265/30 im afraid its not nearly enough sidewall... im either going to go with 235/35 and 245/35 or would going 245/35 all around work? anyone try it?

 

With the factory 19s. The fronts are 8" wide and the rears are 8.5". You could put 245/35/19 on the front and 265/35/19 on the rear. You would maintain the stagger. And the 265s should work with the 8.5" rear. 245/35 all the way around would kill the stagger and interfere with the electronics (VDC).

thank you for your help, i think im going to go with 235/35 and 245/35 unless im going to run into terrible problems

 

I came accross a good deal on a set of 235R19F and 265/30R19R.
It works just good.
The VDC seems work ok even the tires are ~1" smaller in diameter.
235/35 and 265/30 are in the same size in terms of diameter.

 

can you post some pictures please?

 

Just wanted to thank thoses who helped with this decision, someone in another thread said its a 40k car, why cheap out on the tires, they are absolutly right. I ended up going with
Falken FK-452
245/35ZR19 f
245/40ZR19 r

 

That someone was me. Glad your happy, and have tires with the proper stagger that fit the wheels. Good Luck.

that was you.
anyway, i ended up going with Toyo Proxes T1R - 245/35/19 in the front and 275/35/19. Ordered them yesterday.
