Default quick tire selection question...

So per my research i have concluded that the most recommended rear tire size on a 19x10.5 rim is 285/35/19... So i think this is the size i want to go with...

The front wheel is 19x8.5 with 245/35/19s (this is how the used wheels came and there are still plenty of tread left so i will leave the fronts as is)

Now for my question:
Will the 285/35/19s in the rear be a good match for this size front? (In terms of handling, looks, etc?) I dont see why not, but just want to be sure, i need to buy ASAP (tomorrow) since the current rears are completely done for... So i just need a yay or nay..

The offsets for the front and rear are +22, if that makes any difference and my fenders will be rolled this weekend...

thanks in advance

275/35/19 is the way to go. You will be able to match the Revolutions per mile easier, they will be easier to turn and won't be too bad on cost. Remember wider is not always better. Wider are harder to turn, more rolling resistance, most costly and slow you down just a bit.

Not to mention the fact that there are not too many choices when you go to 285/35/19.

thanks fooshe... i went with 285/35/19s... 275 would just look too stretched i think... hopefully i dont have any problems running 245/35 and 285/35...

anyone else running this?

^^ You won't have any problem running 285/35-19" on the rear as to tire size. And I doubt this would rub with your wheel offsets. You're good to go.
