Question 295/30/19 rears.. BUT what fronts???

So I'm trying to decide now on my tire options for my new wheels.

I'm definetly going with PS2's 295/30/19. What would look better and not interfer with VDC? It's either between 255/35/19 or 265/30/19.

I would like to hear from others running this setup.

Why don't you go for 305's out back? I have 255's out front, and the car bite pretty well, but sometimes not quite well enough, so maybe go for the 265.

I would definitely roll with hte 265/30 up front becuase of its shorter height. Im not sure about the VDC as I dont have it on my Z.

I might do that.. I'm thinking about it strongly.... just worried about rubbing but i'll have coil overs...

I have 19x9 F and 19X10.5 R wheels with 255/35 on te front and 285/35 on the rears. I'm happy with this setup, fronts bite fairly well (using BFG KDWs). Going FI soon and will likely bump up the tire sizes to 265s and 295s. Don't have VDC either.

Alright if i go with 265/35/19 and 295/30/19

Front diameter will be 26.3"
Rear would be 26"

I think thats a little off...

now a 265/30/19 is 25.3"
255/35/19 would be 26"

Seems like the cloest to stock would be:

fronts: 265/30/19
rears: 295/30/19

I dislike 295 and 305/30 sizes due to them being right around 26"

My stock tracks were 26.4" IIRC, I run a 27" set-up now and it helps with gearing and gives me the look I Want. The 30 series sidewall even on the 305 looks very small and undersized, especially on a car with a body kit unless its SLAMMED IMO

My next rear will be a 295/35 which is only 27.2" in diam. A 265/30 is WAYYYYY to small in diameter for the front.

I like to keep the sizes between 26-27" obviously larger in rear. Good luck.

I hear what you're saying I like the look I have now 245/35 275/35 my car is pretty low, I dont want a fat sidewall really, and if I wanted to match that exact setup it would be 265/30/19 295/30/19 (0.7) diameter difference. Should keep VDC happy.

I have a set of ADVAN Sport 275/30/19 and 295/30/19 tires that have about 1000 mi on them. All I did was drive to and from Sharif's and a little driving locally. They are better than the PS2's. If you interested let me know. Even if you don't buy them from me I still would go with those sizes.
