Exclamation VOLK TE37..which tires

I just got the following rims..
19" VOLK TE37 Bronze +22 offset on all 4

19x8.5 front
19x9.5 rears
I am lowered on F2 Autolife Full Coils (so i can adjust the height)

I am looking at 245/35/19 for the fronts & 275/35/19 for the rears.

BUT...I have noticed that 275/30/19 tires are MUCH cheaper, is this small difference in size going to make a huge visual difference?

I hope my fellow members can help!!!

Yes, 275/30/19 is shorter than the front tires which will look awful IMO. It will also throw off your speedometer/odometer readings

thats too low of a profile tire, cheaper isnt better, im guessing price isnt that much of an issue considering you bought te37's

that is what i was thinking, but every shop around here keeps suggesting 30 series for the back, but to me it seems a bit too small.

visual difference wouldn't be affected much unless you're a hardcore tire person that wants every little thing to be exactly the same. Comfort of your ride might be affected if you go smaller though.

True, but it shouldn't be that bad of a difference.
