or you could do 225/40/19 front and 245/35/19 rear if thats how you wanna go but ive been told with awd its best to keep the same size all around as to not mess up the tranny

I don't mean to threadjack, but I'm in the same boat as I've noticed a bent rim and I'm starting to think about staggering my current setup (i.e. buy two wider rims of the same model).
I've always used this site to compare tire sizes: http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html
It looks like 245/35R19 and 285/30R19 are a very close match (0.1% difference). They are also close to the stock 225/50R17 size as well (0.3% difference). My concerns are whether this will require rear fender mods (removing the liner, cutting it, etc). I don't really want to deal with that sort of thing.
Anyway, didn't mean to threadjack but just thought I'd post up this link as well.
