Question What do you guys think about this set up?

I recently ordered a set of volk sf-winnings for my coupe, sized 19x8.5 front and 19x9.5 rear, and i am thinking of putting good year eagle f1's sized 245-35-19 on the front and 275-30-19 on the rear. i have a couple of questions:
1. is any body running the good years, and if so what do you think about them?
2. am i going to have any problems with the vdc?
3. i am planning on dropping the car with tein h-techs, will i have any rubbing issues?
Thanks in advance.

1. I am not running goodyears so i dont know
2. Yes you will with that tire set-up. You need to run 245-35-19 and 175-35-19
3. I think with that set up you have the front will be perfect and the back it should be ok, you have to check when its on the car.

Thanks for the reply. i figured that i would have problems with the vdc, i hoped that i wouldn't. the only reason i wanted to run 275-30 is because there are a lot more tires to choose from. the only people that make 275-35 are michelin and they are a quite bit more expensive, but i guess i have no choice. anyone please correct me if im wrong.

Michellin and Toyo make a 275/35/19, that's for sure. You may want to meet up with PlatG. He has the SF Winnings in the 8.5" wide fronts and 9.5" wide rears. This may or may not be enough width for your liking when you consider the size of the lips.

BTW, I have a 19x9.0 and a 19x10.0 and my wheels look TOTALLY different from PlatG's.

Also, you should not have any issues with rubbing.

You can get the Goodyear GS-D3's in the correct size of 275/35/19, as well as Bridgestone S0-3's and Dunlop SP 9000's. I would run 285/35/19 before 275/30/19.

Yea I realized all of this ^^^^^^^ after i did some more research on tires, i was using tires.com and realized that they dont offer that much of a selection, so a friend told me to use tirerack.com and since then it has been smooth sailing. thanks for all your guy's input.
