You'll probably have to run a bit of camber but all I have to say is enjoy the understeer... I would have gone with at least a 265 in front.

by running a skinnier tire in front than in the back you are only going to make the car have more understeer. the earlier suggestion of using a 265 tire in front will decrease the size diffrence of your tires between front and back thus making it have less understeer. If you would like I am sure some one will elaborate more on understeer for you if you are unsure what I am talking about. My two cents... I run the same size tire front and back and IMHO the car drive ten times better... again that is just my opion make your car drive like you want it to or look for that matter! Sick wheel choice by the way!

What sort of power level are you at? If you are under 400whp, I wouldn't go any wider than 275 in the rear simply because a 295 will actually make you slower due to more rotational mass and more resistance from friction.

I would honestly run 255/35/19F, 265/35/19R if you are at stock power levels. The 265/35/19 is roughly 0.3" smaller overall diameter than the stock 245/45/18 which will aide in acceleration. This difference shouldn't be large enough to mess up the TSC/VDC/ABS systems.

Most people on this forum stick to a 245/275 combo or a 255/285 combo. These combos will provide the best balance and will be 'stock-like' while still increasing the amount of rubber on the ground.

If you are only looking for straight line traction feel free to put on any size tires. But if you plan on cornering or tracking the car you'll run into some issues.

The ideal and most stocklike is a 245/275 combo, but you'll have a stretched look to your rears running a 10.5" rim. My suggestion would be a 255/285 combo for your setup...GL

I run 245/35-19 on the same sized rim up front. it looks odd because the rim has no protection since the tire is pretty stretched. My rear tire is 265/30-19, VDC is driving me nuts right now. I'm about to get new tires for the rear. Thinking going 265/30-19 front and 285/30-19 rear.
