Default Tire package work with VDC???

I'm looking to pick up this rim and tire package. Can't figure out if these dimensions will work within the VDC tolerances.

19 in. Rims

Front: 19x8.5
Rear: 19x9.5

Tires

Front: 235/35/19
Rear: 265/30/19

Your rear tires will be shorter than your fronts. A 255/35/19 in the rear will work.

The common tire for your setup would be 245/35 front and 275/35 rears.

Thanks guys, so you suggest picking up the rims and tires separate so I can control the sizes?

Sorry didn't realize they would do that. So the 255/35/19 in the read will make that package work?

I wouldn't , to short for a rear tire. 255/35 is a common front tire when combined with 275/35 rear.

You want 245/35 or 255/35 front and 275/35 rears.

Thank you just the answer I was looking for. Those tire sizes the 245 fronts and 275 rears with the 19 in. rims will still allow the VDC to function properly?

I wouldn't have suggested them if they wearn't the proper ones for the car. Yes the will work, and they are the same tire height as stock.

Either option will make your VDC happy. Assuming you are using a 235/35 in the front, 255/35 is just my personal preference because I don't like to use "fat" tires. 235mm=9.25" 255=10"

Additionally, on the 235/255 set up the rears are 7mm higher than the fronts (happy VDC) and, for example, the OEM V1 touring wheels the rears are 9mm higher.

Explore your tire options and prices. Some sizes are more easily obtained than others and sometimes cheaper.

Something else to keep in mind if you don't plan on lowering your car.
