So, I've narrowed my choices down to 1 of 2 sizes (I think).

1) 255/40/19, 285/35/19.

Small width upgrade on stock sizes, keeps the relative ratio (overall diameter) between front and back pretty close. Slightly taller, which sucks, but dropping a to 35/30's in this width doesn't work. Should keep handling relatively neutral. 265's in the front is more common but it might lead to a hint of oversteer. Cheaper than 265/305.

2) 265/35/19, 305/30/19.

Way more tire than I need. With only bolt on's this amount of grip is more than enough. Actual contact patch after the slight pinch doesn't seem to be that much more than a 285 will provide out back. Unsure if I will need an alignment/suspension mods after going this much wider.

If it matters, I'm leaning towards RE11's but haven't counted out the S04's because of the price difference. Also going to add spacers at some point but nothing crazy, 15mm/20mm most likely.

Thoughts? Did I get any of the explanations wrong?
