What are the offsets? those sizes are the same as mine and I am running 245/35-19 up front and 255/35-19 out back. You should be fine running the same, there is no need for you to run such a large tire in the rear. but if you want a bigger tire you could run a 245/35-19 or 255/35-19 up front and a 275/35-19 in the rear. But it depends what brand tires you are looking at because not all brands/models have a 275/35-19.

255/35/19 is not good for the front if you lower the car (which you will need to). 275/35/19 is a tall *** tire lol. I wonder what that would do to the gearing.

If they were my rims I would go 255 30's all around but that is a bit much with that front offset. A 245 30 front and 255 30 rear would work well with those offsets. We will have to get your fenders rolled though.

Except 255/30-19's usually only come in high end brands.

Hector, get 245/35-19 front and 255/35-19 rear.

Hey Guy's looks like they are doing everything in one day. Seems like it will be a super fun event, track day, drifting, and a show. Also there will be a Dyno there .

My car is possessed. It runs like a damn beast one day with no issues what so ever and then on other days I get the damn rich spikes and misfires for second during a hard pull. It seems to be outside temp related because today it's cool and it's is running smooth as can be but yesterday afternoon when it was 90F I had a rich spike. And then sometimes it will go a few days without any issues. In normal driving it runs perfect. Coolant temps, intake temps, etc are all perfect.

I have the same issue, I think mine is due to a coupler getting loose when its hot. I still have to replace those samco couplers.
