anyone running 245/35 and 275/30 19inch

Anyone running the above setup? 275/30 tires are so much cheaper. My concern is the VDC being thrown off since the rears will be smaller then the fronts.
Anyone?

don't do it, they are shorter than the front tires and look retarded IMO. It will also throw off your speedometer and odometer readings along with the possibility of messing with the VDC

I'm running that set up, not because its cheaper but to help prevent rubbing, and the actual diameter's are pretty close.

Thats the whole problem, the rears are supposed to be taller. Rubbing is dealt with by rolling your fenders, not using the wrong sized tire

I'm using Michelin PS2 275/35/R19. No drop. No rubbing and it's closest to the OEM circumference. I would vote against using the 30 profile.

Im running that same set up and it looks completely fine. The rear end of the car does not look lower than the front in anyway, it actually looks level. When you run a 275/35 in the rear it looks like a stupid 4 wheeler imo, but you get more sidewall flex with the 35 setup...

+1. A voice if reason in a sea of (oh, nevermind). With the proper offset 275/35/19 wont ever rub.
