Do not get F-Sport springs for AWD, the car won't look even. The front end will sit higher than regular 250/350 and will look like crap.

I thought they came out with a revised version to even it out more? Or was it just to get rid of the clunk noise?

Does anyone know how big of a difference 235/35/19 is compared to 225/35/19? I know 225's are a bit more closer to the stock wheels but, I'm just wondering if there is more benefit to getting a slightly wider tires in the 235's?

I have a 245 35 19 all the way around. They are great in the rain! No problem in the rear but the left rubs on the left front outer fender well when you back up to the left at an odd angle. Go with the 235. It only changes the spedo a little. 245 is too big but my tires are brand new. Will wait to buy new ones. Hope this helps.

Definitely go with 19s or 20s unless you want more rubber around the rim so chances of bending them are lower then go 18s.. just my opinion..

From what I have heard that will work but running 275/30 is almost identical to the rolling diameter as 235/35. Good luck.
