But im not even sure on what tire size to get yet, just based on the looks. a 255/30 is a half in shorter (1/4" top/bottom) than the 245/35 im running now. Right now my front tire is actually a few tenths taller than my rears, but it looks normal. I feel like the front tire is going to look like a rubber band compared to the rear
Did you ever get this sorted? I’m currently (about to in 2 hours) find out how my wheels fit. I’m on swifts with 1.5 degrees in the front and 2.5 in the back. I have a 9.5F +12mm and a 10.5R +22mm which I will run a spacer on to get me to +2....or possibly +12 depending on look.

I went with the same size tire/brand. Oddly enough, it wasnt as stretched as the ones on the front before (same exact one though) So i did have the fronts at -1.3 and had no rubs. But with the new tires I got a bit of rubbing soo, just set the fronts at -1.5. In the rear im set at -1.9.

I just got everything on fits great. I need wider tires though so I can get more sidewall. The wheels I snagged came with tires so I reused them considering how much tread was left. I now have a small poke fitment which I think looks good IMO. The swifts are a great drop but these things have too much stretch. Its only 235/35/19 and 265/30/19 with the +12F and +2R offsets with a spacer on. I have tons of room. Overall I am happy though.
