Thanks for this excellant information on tires. I want to stay within proper tire setup range and not create another problem in handeling. In your opinion and reading about my setup and what I have to work with without having to add another part or spend more $$ what is opinion on the proper tire sizes I should be looking at? Am I looking to try and keep the staggered width of front and rear to be similiar to stock ?

For example if the difference in width on stock from front to rear is a difference of 1.18" then I should look for tires with the same difference or as close the 1.18" difference to keep understeer within the stock range?

EDITED: COLDSHOT corrected me on the stock Fr tire size.

I plugged in both front and rear
245/40/19 FR
275/35/19 Rr

The difference in "section width is 1.18

Am I on the right track here?
