Tire size for 19"

I've been running my 2003 with 245/35/19 and 275/35/19 for about two years and it is fine but i would like a little more sidewall on the rear.

I got some new rears 275/40/19. Would this size throw off anything other than the speedometer?

Any reason that I shouldn't run with that size rear and my prior fronts?

I know I've seen the 275/40/19 on a G before, but not sure if it was with the 245/35/19 fronts.

Any help is appreciated. thanks

My car is bone stock with the M6 package and its an 05 coupe. Currently have the OEM 225-40-19 and 245-40-19's on them. I'm really confused cause everyone is saying one size and then another. What is really confusion is that I'm sure most of the people who are giving the size out as suggestions have modded suspenstions but can you specify what size will work fine on a stock suspension?

Not sure if I am correct but I believe the Falkens at 245-40-19's and 255-40-19's will work fine with the car with no VDC issues at all on a stock suspenstion. Is this correct and if so does anyone have this size as a setup?

Is the 05 M6 coupe wheel size 8 front and 8.5 rear or is it 8.5 front and 9 for the rear?

Thanks

ok so my personal opinion is that the best look/ useablity is 245/35r19 275/35r19. i have Nitto NT555's on the stock 19s with Tein S-Techs witch only lowers it about an inch all around and they don't rub one bit. the tires are very sticky espesially on clover freeway ramps. they aren't track tires but they aren't crap either. the VDC likes them too. the best bang for your buck.

here is a tire calc for anyone having problems.

Can someone help me out? I'm a little confused, do any of these tires have warranties?

I've got some older cars with tires that have 60k miles guaranteed. Is there no such thing for 19s?

Also, what is the absolute cheapest tire (for oem 19's)?

I get tires for my 98 Maxima for about $75/tire.

19's look like they're almost $250/tire. Is there nothing cheaper?
