Default Tire ???

I need an experts opinion...
I've ordered some BFG KDW2 tires from Costco sizes 245/35/19 and 275/30/19 and I got a call today that 275s are backordered till September (approx.). I also called tirerack.com they're also backordered.
My questions is that should I drop a size from 275 to 265 which costco have in stock. I know it will stretch slightly. I really don't want to wait til Sept.

Any suggestions.

Thanks for any input.

specs on your rims or we can't help you.

If you've got some 10's in the rear, it should be ok to mount some 265's. Slight stretch is not always bad.

The tires are for Work Euroline SL 19x10 +42 R...
I think I might do that instead.

I would do 235's in the front then if you go 265 in the rear.
