35 front 40 rear

With the oem 19'' rays, can I put 245/35/19 for the front while keeping the 245/40/19 at the back?

Or I should go lowere say 235/35/19 for the front?

I use 245/35 front and 245/40 rear. Fits well and works for me.

245/35 up front is very close to the OEM 225/40 rolling diameter.

I tried 245/40 up front and it rubs on the fender liner on hard corners since I'm lowered.

Awesome look man!

Does it keep the staggered look? And how's the ride quality I read it is more harsh because of thinner walls?

It gives it a more "even" look. I never really liked the staggered look on a G on OEM rims.

I will say that I didn't notice any difference in ride quality. The side wall is just as "thick", only slightly smaller. Ride quality shouldn't change much if you are comparing two of the same tires.

I also noticed more front end grip and less understeer at the track with a slightly wider front.
