Default Another tire size question

hey everyone i just got some wheels and was wondering what would be the best tire size to go with them. the wheels are 19x8.5 +38 and 19x9.5 +35. I wanted to go 235 / 30 in the front and 275 / 30 in the rear. I was just wondering if there is any difference / benefit to got 245 / 35 in the front and 265 / 30 or even 265 / 35 in the rear. I have been reading up on this and i think i got things down just about right but wanted to make sure with my wheel specs. Thanks

245/35 and 275/30

you need 35 in th front to match the rear. that's aspect ratio, it's percentage of the with.

235/35 and 275/30 would be identical diameters. The 245 would be about .2 or .3" taller. All depends on the tire brand.
