When I looked for tires, i thought it would be a good idea to keep the stock tire height ratio as close to stock as possible. That means when you do the math to get the tire height for the stockers you get...

245 40 19 = 245 X .40 = 98
275 35 19 = 275 X .35 = 96.25

So as you can see there's only a small difference between the tire heights front to rear. You want to keep that small difference with whatever combination you go with... so you have to whip out the calculator and see which tire brands have sizes that work for you.

If i remember correctly there is a combination using 285/305 for the RE11's that work.. That may be your solution.

As far as why i wouldn't....its exactly because of that. They are meant to go on wider wheels for obvious reasons. There are negative aspects to running too wide a tire. Some people on here would swear that it doesn't, but it's a matter of physics, not a matter of what it feels like for every day driving.
