Default 30 profiles ok for rear?

I've the normal 275 35 19s right now for my RH J8. Rears are almost bald... and searching through websites, the 30 profiles are much more in abundance and choices as well as cheaper...

Are 30 profiles ok? Will they throw off TCS / slip lights?

Also, anyone has experience with 285/295 30s on 10.5 width rims without having to roll fender or have any kind of experience with them?

Series is directly related to overall tire height, and it is the tire height that is more important than the series.

it depend on your wheel offset and how low you're going to drop your car. If you don't drop your car then you don't have to roll fender.

We ran Nitto 555, 275/30/19 on 10.5" wide wheel and it was so streched that the lip of the rim had no rubber protecting it and the TCS didn't work right at all, car would bog going through the slightrest turn, front tires were 245/35/19. Now run a ContiSportContact 2, 295/30/19 which fits the same rim perfectly. Rim offset is +28, we're running stock ride height now and have no rubbing without any fender rolling. 255/35/19 up front now and TCS works better too.

There's a guy here in town running 295/30/19 on the rear and 255/35/19 on the front and has no problems. I chose the 285/35/19 for my rear just because there were more choices.

Thanks guys... I'm gonna try out 285/30s although I am dropped and see what the fitments' like. Hopefully VDC works well in the rain with these 30s and not slip like crazy even during slow drivings...
