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.

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.
