FYI:
Stock overall diameter is 25.8"
My current setup:
245/35/19 (front) overall diameter is 25.8" / sidewall thickness is 3.4"
275/30/19 (rear) overall dimater is 25.6" / sidewall thickness is 3.3"
I like the fronts...however the rear sizes that I am now looking into is as follows:
275/35/19 (rear) overall diameter is 26.6" / sidewall thickness is 3.8"
265/35/19 (rear) overall diameter is 26.3" / sidewall thickness is 3.7"
So, as you can see from above the 265/35/19 rears are "closer" to stock specs (regarding overall diamter) and "closer" to the sidewall thickness of my fronts than the 275/35/19 rears. But the only downfall is that there is 10mm less of a contact patch to the ground 265 vs 275.
I want to definitely go with a thicker sidewall for both comfort and better flex for grip but I don't want to sacrifice another full INCH of overall diameter to get it. It may not sound like a lot being only .5" on each side but it throws the speedometer off by almost 4% which is annoying. I may go with the 265/35's instead because of this...I am still thinking about it.
Here is a good link BTW for tire sizing:
