The front 245/40's was 26.7 and the 255/35's are 26.1, a bit more than the rears, but still not as noticeable as you claim.

Don't forget that while he did decrease the aspect ratio he also increased the width, which makes the change to overall diameter not as dramatic.

Also, just out of curiosity what size tire do you think he should have changed to? There aren't exactly a ton of options for changing tire size to a wider tire while maintaining the exact same overall diameter. It's only going to be "close".




And to keep the thread on track... here are some shots of my "meaty" tires
285/35/19's ... up FRONT and 305/30/19's in the rear





How is this setup "285/35/19's ... up FRONT and 305/30/19's in the rear" for autocross on the stock nismo rims? I was thinking of going with a square set up of 285/35/19 on swift springs for autocross. Hummm......

Do you have any rubbing issues with 285/35/19 on the fronts?
