275/35/19 vs. 275/30/19

i just recently purchased my rims
fronts will be 19 x 8.5 offset is 15
rears are 19 x 9.5 with offset of 15 also

for the front tires, looking at 245/35/19... should i even consider 235/35??

and for the rears, i was thinking 275/35 but ive seen a lot of people going with 275/30 instead....

if the front tire height is 35...why get 30 for the rear? im a little confused..will that look unever..sine the front tires will be a little taller?

With the 245/35 and 275/30 you are looking at a sidewall difference of about 3mm between the two, with the front being the larger.

With 245/35 and 275/35 you are looking at a sidewall difference of about 10mm with the rear being the larger.

With 235/35 front your overall diameter will be about 25.5" and either of the rears will be about 26.6 for the 275/35 and 25.5 for the 275/30.

So as you can see, running a 35 series up front and 30 in the rear nets aout the same overall diameter, but with one being wider. Thats why the difference.

With the 245/35 and 275/35 it closely matches the diameter difference F-R that the coupe comes with from the factory (225/45/18F 245/45/18R)

get the 35 profile, vdc wont freak out as much and youll have more sidewall to keep them quieter. Plus they just look like beasts.
