G35 Coupe w/ sports suspension
Exclamation Tire type and size question

Hi, I've got a 05 G35 Coupe w/ sports suspension and the back tires are getting bald. Is $550 (after tax) a fair price to get 2 new Good Year Eagle Exhilarate installed? I live in California. Also if you have any opinions on these specific tires Id love to hear them.

One other question. I've been running 225/40/19 in the front and 245/40/19 in the back ever since I got the car. I was wondering if this is a good setup to keep or if I should change it up and put 245/40/19 in the front and 255/40/19 in the back? Which would look better if I decide put on spacers?

Any help is appreciated, thank you!

Would you say 245/40/19F and 255/40/19R would be a good choice? Or do you think I can go wider on them?

Why 35 on the height and not 40? I would like to fill out the wheel gap as much as possible. Also isn't 275 going to be a bit too wide for the rims? Sorry if I don't get it, I haven't really researched into tires when I've bought them in the past but now I just want to get the perfect setup

They are the forged rays. I am not sure about their width though, I think it may be 8.5".

yea I was seeing that as a popular setup. What would you say about 245/35/19F and 255/40/19R? would that be much different? Thanks for your help man.
