hi guys,

After I read all of your opinions, i decided to go with VMR VB3 19x8.5 ET40 in front and 19x9.5 ET45 in rear.
I think I got a good deal on them ($785)..
well, now i need to get the tires. and 245/35/19 front and 275/30/19 rear would be good?
what do you guys think?

Will a 275/35/19 size rear work?

It may rub - I wouldn't do it. 275/30/19 is optimal although you may get by with 285/30/19

Not a big fan of 30 series tires although a 285/30/19 should give me a little more sidewall. Has anyone ran 285/30/19 on a 19x9.5 here? Any rubbing issues?
