the tires are just too thin for me im scared of bending the rims i want them alittle taller
i want them to look close to the look of the rears 275/35/19

You can run 245/35 in the front. But you'll have to use heat gun to push the inner lining. Nice rims BTW.

What do you know about running 245/35's in the front???

Yes, you can run 245/35/19's in the front with Eibachs. Trust me, I know...

It'll look beefy in the front for sure. You'll have a little more protection also on the lips. You're already rubbing a little bit right now, so you can't go too wide or too tall in the front.

Well, it won't really "look beefy" in the front any more than it already is - the difference in sidewall between the 235/35 and the 245/35 is only 4mm. Terrance is spot on though about having to heat gun your fender linings if you're already rubbing. It's not a big deal, and pretty easy to do.

i always find it so interesting how ppl run the same size tire up front that i run on my back

Heh, if you had to drive through Pasadena, Rosemead, San Gabriel, Alhambra, or anywhere else in the Los Angeles area, you'd know why we run the sizes we do...

I ran 235/35/19 and 275/30/19 on my MMRs. I hit some big bumps as well and I never did anything to my wheels. If MMRs can handle it Volks definately can. Roads in Las Vegas suck too they are always under construction.

meh =/ i prefer the stretched tire look rather than the beefy look. but if its dependent upon the type of roads you drive on, then thats makes sense i guess.

oh btw, im going 215/35/19 on my front with a 8.5=in rim. =P

We're not talking about "bumps" here - I wish we only had to worry about "bumps." Think more along the lines of driving on a railroad track...

The way to get more cushion is to use a 17" wheel. A 225/45/17 is the same overall diameter as the stock tire. I was thinking of a larger sidewall myself with both front rims bent to *****!

Bigger tires? Yes. Smaller wheels? NEVER!!!

Yup I agree with u.. I knew 215-35-19 on 8.5 in rim with 35 offset or lower will not likely to rub the front fender..
