I doubt that davidv will answer your question directly. He posts charts a lot, but rarely provides a solution.
Even if he does reply (and he probably won’t), your setup is in “dark territory” because of your wide-body kit, and even the more knowledgeable here (people who know more than davidv or I for that matter) will qualify their response.
The easy answer is telling you what overall diameter your wheel/tire setup should be. davidv does this in the chart he presents above this posting. Your correct overall diameters are: Front 25.8” and Rear 26.6".
Now you need to determine the best wheel/tire setup for your wide body.

Davidv,
Thanks for that info sheet. I'm not exactly sure what that will change as for performance. I'm now garage guru by any means this is my first real project so I'm still trying to learn. I can't attach the spreadsheet I used to get my numbers but, here is a link to it http://www.tyrestretch.com/files/Tyr...or_English.xls By looking at them it didn't seem that there would be much of a difference. So would you suggest that I go with a 30 in the front also, or 305 in the rear, or maybe both. If, I put a 30 instead of 35 on the front I will have a rear which is bigger by .94" (stock is .39"), would that help out. I'm up for any advice you have. Thanks again everyone for all the tips!

A cool looking set-up

Many members are after "looks." You can make your own rules here. Remember altering OEM tire height changes rear axle ground clearance. Something that I would be cautious about.
I think a 245/35/19 front and 305/30/19 rear would be a good setup in terms of overall height but:
1) your gonna have a stretched tire in front and a non-stretched tire in rear and
2) you might have a good amount of understeer with such a difference in width stagger
If your okay with both of those then that would be a good setup

Everyone I really want to thank you for everything. I am pretty sure I want to run with 265/30 front and 305/30 rear. I've been looking at the stretched tires and I'm really thinking thats not for me or how I want my car to look. I think that this set up will keep the stagger and look pretty mean! Going to order tomorrow morning which is about 11 1/2 hours for me. If any of you have any last minute things to add or think I should go with something else, please let me know. Again, thanks for all the advice. It has been very helpful.
