I'm running avant garde m341s in that exact sizing. I've got 265/30 rear and 235/35 in the front with no issues.

I have 235/35/19 and 265/30/19 lowered with no rubbing at all. I could likely have gone 275 at the rear, but may be a touch tight. It's not flush, but still aggressive looking.
^ and yes that combo above it ideal for diameter. but I played it safe as I didn't want to roll the rear fenders in case there was rubbing. |

If I used 245's in front, it would alter the ideal diameter. The bigger contact patch of the 245 may go better with the 275's. Maybe even better again to use 245/265. It is good to have similar amounts of grip front to rear, especially with the xi, to minimize the characteristic xi under-steer issue. The rear of my car with 275 is PLANTED!! The front has very little under-steer compared to the stock Sport Package tires/wheels. Completely different car. Awesome. Last edited by 4corners; 07-06-2011 at 11:50 PM.. |
