235/35/19 all around on OEM 19's
Just bought a set of staggered stock 19's that were used on a 300zx for a few hundred miles. The owner wrapped all 4 wheels in 235/35/19 rubber...
Now I'm curious... will this setup be fine? Or should I buy some 265s/275s for the back and keep the extra set of 235s for the front? Also, will 265/30 work? or should i stick to 265/35?
Thanks!

i know 245/275 is what most ppl use here, but will 235/265 or 235/275 be fine? It's still wider than stock...
Also, is anybody running 265/30 or 275/30? Or would that put the wheels at risk?

I am running 235/30R19F and 265/30R19R.
The VDC is just fine..... At least I don't feel it's being screwed up.
But you are running smaller than OEM size.
One of the memeber said I screwed up the speedometer by decreasing the overall diameter by 3%.
Would means when the speedometer shows at 100mph and you are actually running at 97mph and IF the speedometer shows at 200mph you are actually running at 194mph.

thanks for the help, guys! I'm not too worried about the speedometer issue... I already knew that would happen.
What I'll probly do is run the 235/35/19 up front and buy a pair of 265/30/19's for the rear. I'm pretty sure that's the widest tire you can fit over 8.5" wheels, right?
Anyone have any experience running this exact setup? with general exclaim tires, preferably?

a 265/30/19 is ~1.4" shorter in diameter than stock, so your rear will be .7" lower, but you'll have .7" more wheel gap than stock, which IMO is just goofy looking and it will actually be shorter than your front tires. You'll also greatly increase the chance of damaging a rim due to the decrease in sidewall. You'll possibly increase your acceleration slightly, but at the cost of fuel efficiency and top speed.

I don't think that's a big difference.
Speedometer is not 100% accurate any ways.
