I wrap them with DWS 245/35/19 F , 275/30/19 R
I have 10mm spacer on the back
I need to do alIgnment to my car
Can someone advise what r the alignment specs ?!

Keep everything within OEM specs except camber.
Rear camber OEM spec is -2.0 degrees. See if he can adjust this closer to -1.0 degree or even less. You'll lose a little handling on the turns but tire wear will improve significantly.
Front camber OEM spec I believe is -0.8 to -1.0. This should be fine.
Generally when you start approaching -2.0 degrees you'll chew up more inner tire.
Rear camber OEM spec is -2.0 degrees. See if he can adjust this closer to -1.0 degree or even less. You'll lose a little handling on the turns but tire wear will improve significantly.

+1000 I have my alignment set to -0.5 front and -0.8 rear and I am MUCH happier. With OEM specs of -2.0 rear I went through 6 sets of rear tires in 2 years, with my new setup I have had the same rear tires for over a year (bought new beginning of May 2011)
I may have lost a little handling, but truthfully, in daily driving I can't notice it. Maybe if I took my car to the track it would be more pronounced.
