275/30 or 265/30...2 part question...
CL,
My rear wheels are 19x10; I was looking at getting 265/30/19's and was told I could go either way.
When calling around for prices, most shops recommend 235/35/19 for the front (19x8) and 275/30/19 for the rear (19x10)
Question 1: Does it matter?
Question 2 : Why is there a different tire size for the rear than the front. Why not 35 for the front and 35 for the rear?
Thanks in advance.

with that in mind, with your 8 front 10 rear setup, personally i would get 245/35 and 275/30. that would gve you a bit more sideall and it's within spec setup for the car.
235/35 and 265/30 would work, but you have less sidewall, you risk bending your wheels more.
245 is a bit too wide for the 8, but i think it's ok, and it's beter than doing 265 on the 10, which is too stretched imho

Thanks for the detailed explanation. Now I understand. I did think it was a direct measurement. I was looking at cars with the 35/30 set up and thinking "they LOOK the same to me" . Now I know why.
Thanks Again. See you @ EOS!
