I think the side walls look perfect with those tire sizes. Read this thread, on page three I mount up 305 Bridestone RE11's on the back and move the 275 RE050A's from the rear up to the front. After that, I put on 15 mm spacers and I show before/after pictures as well as multiple angled shots of the sidewalls.

Right on - I thought I had read somewhere about a swap but after a few pages into searches I give up.... Thanks for the info - I'm putting that in the memory bank for when I have to replace my tires....

forgot to mention the assumptions: everything stock (i.e., not lowered, no camber arms, etc), running RE-11's.

I think i will try 285/35-19 or 275/40-19 once the back tires are gone..
