Re: what size tires?

In the front, a 245/35-19 would match the stock tire diameter.

In the back, you would want a 255/35-19. Most manufacturers do not recommend a 265 or 275 tire on an 8.5" wide wheel..... the wheel is too narrow.

Re: what size tires?

the 10mm difference isn't worth the trouble of not being able to rotate the wheels, in my opinion. Might as well get the same all around.

Re: what size tires?

i went with 4 of the 245/35ZR19"s so i can rotate if i must. paid 590 shipped for tires. they are the cheapest ones i could find. they are made by wanli. and i've heard good stories and bad ones about the company, but i'm going to take my chances. if anything i'll sell 2 and but some better ones for the rear, their only for looks. i have my 17x11s for performance.
