Again I am NOT saying this is ideal or that everyone should run this but simply that this is MY experience with MY setup thus far. The biggest difference I've noticed is that with the wider front tire vs the stock 245 the turn in is fantastic. Felt like I had to fight it a bit when I was autocrossing on the RE050's.
I realllllllllllllllly want to go with a 295/30/19 (or even a 305/30/19 MUHAHA jk) on the front and rears with my new square setup. I feel like that would be square enough on the wheels and short enough on top to minimize inner fender rubbing. I'm just worried about "inner suspension/brake" clearance as it says on the rim and tires calculator online. I have no idea what that means and how that affects the front.
