Rear tire size options - 19x9.5 (30 or 40offset)

Hi guys.
I recently pickedup a used set of LMGT4s 19x8.5 (25) 19x9.5(30 or 40) - i think they are 40 though.. Fronts have 245/35 and rears have 275/35 tires... I'm looking for an alternate tire size setup in the rears where I won't have to run coilovers and/or aggressive camber setup.. Looking to lower with springs and aftermarket shocks combo if at all possible.

What rear tire size options should I look at - front\rear tire suggestions are ok too?
I'm thinking 245/35 (245/40) fronts and 255/35 rears... Also, what would be an ideal drtop add'l mods will be needed - ie. fender roll, pull, etc?


FYI - this will be for my daily driver - not planning on tracking the car at all...


thanks
johnnel

If the offset is 40 on a 9.5, 275s should fit without an aggressive drop/negative camber

How about if it's a +30mm offset?
Apparently, almost all 19x9.5 LMGT4s were made with +30mm.

thanks

Would it work if I go with 245/35/19 + 25 fronts and 245/40/19 on the rears with maybe Tokico Blues and H&R springs?

Check out this link for SDGenius' sedan on LMGT4's, 255/35 and 275/35

Keep in mind he has an aggressive drop and his rears are probably rolled flat.

Are you a sedan or coupe? If coupe, those offsets are terribly weak. I'm running 19x10.5" rears +12 offset dropped on coils with 285/35/19 large ps2 tires with rolled fenders with absolutely zero issues. I will probably size up to 305/30's soon

Good point for some reason I automatically assumed OP has a sedan.

It's hard to know, typically if you don't say sedan it is assumed it's coupe, but then again those offsets are much better suited for sedans but it wouldn't be the first time someone ran really weak offsets on a coupe... Who knows
