Almost all rear wheel drive cars are set up this way. When you accelerate the rear of the car will drop slightly which is the reason the the slightly lower profile of the tire.

its the same

the 2nd number doesnt mean that a 30 series tires is taller than a 25 series tire. 245/30 means that the sidewall height is 30% of the width of the tire (245mm) just like 275/25 means the sidewall height is 25% of the width (275mm)

the button is just a switch so your TPMS computer has 2 different sets of codes stored. it's possible to get them programmed at somewhere other than the dealership but i couldn't find any near my area. i went to a toyota dealership who did it for slightly less than what lexus charged. maybe you'll have better luck.

Thanks nGeee, I really like the wheels too. They are 19x9.5 front and 19x10 in the rear. Not sure on the offsets though. Do you have pics up of your car? I'd love to see the wheels on your car too.
