I initially thought of going 285/35-19 all around. I just put on 285's on the rear and that increased the diameter .4" so there's less wheel gap now for a pseudo lowered look. For the front, the driver side wheel already has a bent lip and is warped from NYC potholes. I was wondering about going up to 245/45/19 or 275/40/19 which would give a full inch more sidewall for wheel protection and less wheel gap so it'll look lowered without actually being lowered. Only thing I'm questioning right now is if the extra sidewall will have a noticeable hit on handling and driver feel. I'm very particular on the road feel and choose my tires according to the 'Steering Response' according to Tirerack's surveys.
