That sounds about right. You can also get your fenders rolled (depending on if you're lowered or not) and get a 285/35/19 in the rear. But 275 seems to be a popular choice

yea 245/275 is the popular choice. But if i were u, id go with 255/30/19 and 285/30/19 and have your fenders rolled. Either way it'll look great

Agreed. I think the 255s and 285s are better suited for those wheel widths.

I think you meant to say 255/35/19 and 285/35/19. The 30 series would be too short.

^ I agree, that and you would need a bigger drop. If you go with the 35 series, they will fill that wheel gap better.

Depends. Are you going to run 10mm spacers? If not, go with 255/35 & 285/35

Even with 275/35/19, you may have to roll the fenders. I know I had to, and that was with a Nismo suspension which is not much of a drop.

would you need to roll the fenders if you don't drop the car. For 255/35/19 and 285/35/19 tires.
