Yeah well thats what happens when your car comes stock with OEM Rays--19inch wheels! This seems to be the only way to wear them out evenly

Yep.
Besides, the stagger is too small to even notice a difference.

It is possible to run 275 / 40 / 19 on OEM 19"? I am currently running 255/30 and I am having a hard time going up my driveway without hitting my exhaust. I am lower with TB.

So between 255/40 and 255/35 (rears), which one is less likely to throw off VDC, or are they about the same? (and which is more preferred?)

I'm not dropped yet (don't plan on dropping too low anyway) and my fronts are stock size 225/40, although I am considering 235/35 for the fronts as well

Hrmm... deciding whether to run 215/35 all around, 215/35 (F) and 225/35 (R) or 225/35 (F) and 235/35 (R). Gonna need 25, 30, or 38 mm spacers all around to sit flush. Depends on the tire I go with.
