Default 295/30/19: Can I run 245/35/19 fronts?

Hey guys:

Will I have any VDC/TCS issues if I have a 295/30/19 on the rear of my 10.5" rear wheel and 245/35/19 on my 9.5" front wheel? I used to have 255/35/19 in front, but due to an expected lower front ride height, this may have to change.

Thanks, ordering soon.

Ravi

They can't be rolled. Aren't they rolled from the factory?

If you meant the rear, then yes they are, and then some.

I dunno if it will cause any issues, but why not just run the 255/35 again? Trust me, the 245/35 is much easier to damage! I "curbed" mine when a speed bump snuck up on me!

But if you are saying "due to an expected lower front ride height", I don't know how that will affect your ability to run a 255, unless it's going to rub on the inside (which I don't think should be an issue since you have a relatively low offset). Rubbing on the outside should also not be an issue given that if you lower it, you're going to camber inwards anyways, which I would venture to say would possibly make you rub on the inside, but like I mentioned above, I don't think should be a huge problem given that you're running a +19 offset up front.

Anyways, yeah. I donno man

i think he might be asking this question because RE050's come in those sizes at a very reasonable price. i think around $1k for all 4.

Oh really? Gives me ideas...I really want to run 255/35/19 and 295/30/19 like Ravi did before, but I don't want to go with something expensive like Pirelli, Michelin, etc.

255/35/19 or 265/30/19 would be good choices to match up with the 295 rear

This would defiantly be ideal IMHO.

The 265/30 will be slightly shorter than stock. 275/30/19 is a better match, but may be too wide for your tastes and result in slightly heavier steering

I also agree with this. I had 245/35 in the front with a 9.5" rims and they were too stretched out. The outer rim of the wheel would hit the road on hard turns.
