Well on the 19's I ordered, I just went with a 245/35/19F and a 275/30/19R. I'll post pics when I see the wheels and tires together...

Why do people have 245/35 /19 or 20 in the front and 275/30 /19 or 20 in the back. Lol, let me reword that question... Why are the front tires 35s and the back tires 30s? Is this to prevent rubbing? Or is it just for aesthetics.

The 35 or 30 number is related to the tirewall (side) height, and is a PERCENTAGE OF THE WIDTH, so because the rims are staggered with the rear tires being much wider, a lower percentage (30) is needed to get roughly the same tirewall side height.

Hope that helps.

Dunlop makes a 225/35/19 and 255/30/19, this should be a stretch on a 19x9 and 19x10 wheel. Personally I haven't seen it.

Personally I think that wouldn't be enough tire...I'm sure it's possible but I wouldn't do it...Don't like having that stretched look...
