True. Also should have mentioned i have 4.08 gears ready to install. And I will eventually add lightweight rotors a little later down the road. Did some quick calculations on willtheyfit.com and a 305/35/18 has a diameter of 670.7mm vs 675mm for my 275/35/19 I'm currently running. More rubber and comparable diameter sounds good to me ? That and a summer 18" tire is probably lighter then my current 19" all season tire lol. Guess I'll start my search for a set of rpf1s.
