Don't do 235/35s on the front, I tried that, too small a sidewall.

225/40 front and 255/35 rear are almost EXACTLY the same size, but probably your front sidewalls will look slightly stretched and the rears slightly bulged.

I have a spare set that I use from time to time and they have 245/40 all around. I wish they were 245/35.

I'd like to see a pic of that if anyone's running that setup. I have 245/35s on the front, thinking of going 255/35 on the rear but they are proving hard to find (at least matching/affordable ones).

There are a number of members with 245/35's. Check out the wheel pic share.

Have you looked for General UHP's?? They're moderately priced in the 255/35 size

Found lexusk8's, rears look a bit small to me. Might stick with 255/35s.

I'll probably try to find some good/cheap/used since they will get cambered to **** anyway. I have about 3 months in which to look.

255-35 is a touch too small vs oem. So a 245-35 is WAY small vs oem.

Swival you looking to go lower? My old reo50s wore pretty evenly on my suspension setup.

Yeah, but since I have 245/35 fronts and am happy with them, I just wanna go a fraction larger (0.27") on the back to keep the wheel gap as even as possible. If I had it to do over, I might go 245/40 all around with my mild drop.

Probably not going lower, so time will tell on the camber bit. Might be fine.

Sorry for the 'jack, OP.

About to bite the bullet on Hankook V12 EVOs 225/40/19 and 255/35/19, I really like how they compare to stock size. I don't have much tire gap now and would hate to go any smaller and create more gap.

im running 245/40/19 on all 4 on my coupe that's dropped in df210 (much more than 1.5 and more than their advertised 1.7 f and 1.5 r.) and i rub everyonce in a while. You will be fine with those tires on a sedan w. a 1.5in drop
