3 threads down read that.... I have a 245/35 275/30 . That's extreme. Right at the limit.

You should run 235/35/19 with 265/30/19 or 275/30/19

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.

Hey guys just to clarify if the tires are 235/35/19 front and 275/30/19 rear that is still under the 1% rotation difference right?

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.

I have 235/35/19 and 275/30/19, (wheels 8.5/9.5/offset 35) which are the closest to the same diameter as possible. Both 818 revolutions per mile. Absolutely no rubbing. I could probably put 15mm spacers front and rear and still be ok. (I'm not going to add spacers)

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.

Yes. The best sizing combo there is for rolling diameter.
