Did you find that understeer increased? Being that the stock tires have a section width difference between front and rear with staggered tires of 1.18 . And with your setup the section width difference is 1.97, which would increase understeer.

I am hoping that with the 255/35/19 vs 245/40/19 with the 255's having a lower sidewall height of -0.35 that it will compensate for the wider section width of 0.39 and therefore not rub.

I will definetly post up some photos once I am finished. Thanks for your help!

If my research is right I want to have a section width difference between the staggered tires to be similiar to the stock staggered difference of 1.18.

And if my calculations (using America's Tire Calculator) are correct then the ideal staggered tire width difference similiar to stock tires would be with this combo:

255/35/19 & 285/35/19 with the same section width difference as stock at 1.18

Another member (COLDSHOT) has 255/35/19 & 305/30/19 on 25mm spacers both Fr & Rr with 1" drop Fr & Rr with no rubbing.
