26.8 in the front and 27.5 in the rear is a FAT SET UP and you will not have an issue with VDC. This set up is similar to 245-35-19 (25.8) in the front and 275-35-19 (26.5) in the rear. As long as front and rear increased in similar increments, you will not have an issue with VDC. I think you will have an issue with VDC if you run all 4 wheels at same/similar size.

You are correct. Sorry, I got the wrong numbers from www.1010tires.com. Thanks for the heads up.

That's the setup I'm looking at. Any tire rubbing issues? Is your car lowered? If so with what springs? What are your wheel widths and offsets? Alot questions I know but tryin to avoid mistakes.

I have had two different setups with the same sizes 255/35/20 F and 285/30/20 R. One was with the Falken FK451's and now my current setup is the same size but are the BFGoodrich KDW's. The Falkens fit fine but are actually smaller in width than the same size in other brands, the rears are about the same width as 265's. The KDW's are the same size rating but are almost an inch wider in the back and like a half inch in the front.. With the KDW's you get a much more aggressive look but there will be rubbing with the back fender. I had to cut the fender lip but now it fits perfect. As for the front it does not rub but I took out the 2 screws at the top of the fender that hold the plastic fender liner. I personally like the BFGoodrich setup better and they have much better grip and traction than the Falkens. I am also lowered 1.5" so they might not rub if you arent lowered.
