I understand that some like the additional sidewall but a 245/35 is an inch over spec and a 275/30 has a smaller sidewall than the 245/35 not ideal if your car is awd! Other than that the wheels look great can t wait to see it lowered!!
+1 those are the tire specs i have for my wheels.

the difference between a 245/35 and a 275/30 is only an 1/8". not that much to worry about if you have awd imo.

agreed though the the above tire specs mentioned are ideal.
