Default will these tire sizes work?

i wanted to try the General Exclaim UHP 's out but their sizes are limited .

my rim sizes are

19x8.5 in the front and 19x9.5 in the rear

was wondering if 245/35/19 and 275/30/19 was fine?

275/30/19 is SMALLER then the front tire diameter wise...

Alot of people use it, with VDC it will throw it off... speedo will be off.... better acceleration... and tire is cheeper...

the recommended size is 275/35/19 in the rear with the 245/35/19 in the front...

Using a few calculators I figured if your speedo is reading 65, then you're actually going 63. So unless you're speeding your speedo won't be that much of a factor. Also you don't have VDC, so that's no problem either. So you be the judge. I know this is the setup I'm going to order soon.

The front tires are taller than the rear.

if you dont have VDC you can do the smaller tire size on the rear...

but, IMHO it looks silly with the smaller tires in the rear...

1. Doesnt fill up the wheel well (makes your wheels look smaller)
2. More meat on the front then the rear looks funny IMHO...

i have this exact setup on my car, with vdc. Same brand tire and wheel sizes. no issues whatsoever.




also.. the rear tire DOES NOT LOOK smaller than the front, they look the exact same as far as sidewall height goes. When i was running a 245/35R19 front and a 275/35R19 the rear tires looked much taller than the fronts.
