How low is your car? And what are you dropped on?

I have similar sizes as you. 9.5 front +19 and 10.5 rear + 29

I was going to go with a 285/35 rear and a 255/35 front, but decided against it.

I ended up going with a 275/35 rear and a 245/35 front.

I really like the way the wheels look like that. It’s not too bad of a stretch, but it looks a lot more aggressive in my opinion.

Here is the bottom line:

If you arent dropped more then 1", and want a fat *** rear tire, and hate the stretch look go with a 285 rear, which means u need a 255 front.

If you want the wheels + tires to look much more agressive go with the 275 rear, which gives u the correct overall diameter with the 245 front.

Here is a picture of my setup:

Toyo T1S are pretty good tires too.

def go with 275/35's in the rear and 245/35 up front.
285's and 255's wont be the closest overall diameter to OEM wheels
im running those and its perfect. spend the extra $$ get Michelin PS2's.
