:lmfao: That's what I thought. I think it will work. There shouldn't be a noticeable difference in height.

hahah.. no problem with VDC? visually look different?

A number of Z's here run with 275/30/19 .. just due to tire options.

275/30 are smaller -- creating larger wheel well openings .. and simply not good visually IMHO.

 

[toykilla]

how much smaller? i am pretty low so it might not make much of a difference

I know some people do it, but IMO is not worth it. According to a tire/wheel calculator I use, the 275/30/19 is .3" smaller than the 245/35/19 front. Not a good look with the reverse stagger and you might have problems with VDC (if applicable) and your speedometer will be off. You will have approximately .5" more wheel gap, too.

I'd stick with the 35 Josh. The 30 would be much more prone to wheel damage from potholes and such.

How much cheaper is a 30 profile than a 35?

 

[toykilla]

close to 100$ per tire..

Spec. _____ Sidewall ____ Radius ____ Dia. _____ Circ. ____ Revs/Mile __ Difference
275/35-19 ___ 3.8in _____ 13.3in ____ 26.6in ____ 83.5in ___ 759 _______ 0.0%
275/30-19 ___ 3.2in _____ 12.7in ____ 25.5in ____ 80.1in ___ 791 _______ -4.1%

[studybuddy]

What tires do you think you're going with?

 

[illz33]

Yeah, i didn't mean to kill your plans of saving $$$

FWIW, i'm looking at :

Michelin PSII
Bridgestone S0-3
and for some reason the T/A KDW

I have the SO-3's on my rear tires. They're not even broken in yet though, so I can't really give a review. The tread looks great for the rain though.
