Will this tire size combo be ok?

These are on factory 19" rims:

Front: 235/35-19 (2% smaller than the stock 225/40-19)
Rear: 245/40-19 (Same size as stock)

They do not make this tire (Falken FK-452) in the stock front size. The 235/35 is as close as I could get.

I just want to double check that this will not **** off the computer in any way. It doesn't seem like it should, but this would be an expensive guess if it did!

Thanks,
Sonny

245/35/19 would be better.

Lou,

You're right...it is a closer match. I guess I didn't consider that size because I figured that the 245mm tire on the front rim would be too wide without also plus sizing the rear? Will it "look funny"?

Thanks,
Sonny

Nope, will fit the 8" wide wheel just fine and will also look and drive just fine. It will reduce some of the built in understeer. Handling will be more neutral.

i'm lookin at getting new tires for the oem 19"s i just picked up but i want to go with 275 in the rear. i know the tires can fit the wheels but will the offset cause this size of tire to rub the fender? i don't want to roll the fenders just to fit some fat tires though.

any knowledge out there?
