Based on this data, the choice is clear...bump up the 225/40/19's in the front to 255/35/19.
I'm very curious as to why no one on the forums has suggested this, if the calculations make it so evident that it's the correct way to go.

Perhaps I should keep summer tires on my car, and try to run them when it's cold and rainy outside... Or run 85 octane gas, the knock sensors will take care of it... Heck, I'll run Type-F transmission fluid, because tranny fluid should be tranny fluid......
Ok, I'm stepping off my soap-box now

The guy who put 275's in the rear said he had to make some camber adjustments to correct the footprint. (https://g35driver.com/forums/showpos...2&postcount=61)
If you want to do that, go ahead. But the overwhelming majority of people think that 255/40 in the rear is the widest you should go on the stock 19"s.
Trust me, two weeks ago I went through the same kind of anxiety and research that you're doing, and based on all the advice I received, and my own research, 245/35/19 and 255/40/19 is the best choice if you're going to bump up from a size larger than stock. It will affect your speedometer only very slightly.

275's on OEM rims........?
You may have already purchased the 275's but to be quite frank it's a
mistake! The 245's are fine for the front but stick with 255's out back.
Tire buldge isn't a good thing and the footprint you'll be putting down won't
be the whole tire width. I've got 275's on a 10 1/2" rim and the fit is perfect.

...now what!?
Just when I thought it was OK to get the 275's...Everyone seems to be conflicting with each other. I guess thats why people just stick to the stock sizes! lol I haven't bought the tires yet though...
So, having 245/35 up front and 255/40 rear doesn't affect the VDC?? The height is increased by 8mm in the back and decreased by 8mm in the front.
Here's the height for all mentioned sizes:
225/40-19 front 663mm (stock)
245/40-19 rear 679mm (stock)
245/35-19 front 655mm (-8 from stock)
255/40-19 rear 687mm (+8 from stock)
-Total difference from stock 16
255/35-19 front 661mm (-2 from stock)..don't know if 255 would work up front
275/35-19 rear 675mm (-4 from stock)
-Total difference from stock 2
245/35-19 front 655mm (-8 from stock)
275/35-19 rear 675mm (-4 from stock)
-Total difference from stock 4
