Anyone running 245/35/19 for their fronts and stock (255/40/19) for their rears.
Is it ok to run this size for my fronts?
It's going to be a temporary setup approx 2-3months until winter is here.

That setup will fit just fine.

I'm unclear on the question. 255/40/19 is not the stock size for the rear. 255/35/19 is however.

My mistake. I'm running 255 40 19' for my rears.

I was wondering if 245 35 19 for my fronts are ok for my stock wheels
it's an 08.

Does anyone have experience on this certain setup?
Front: 245/35/19
Rear: 255/40/19

How does this change the driving dynamics of the car

And thanks for the reply vbb.

I don't have any experience with that set up personally, but it isn't a drastic difference than a stock set up. The diameter for the wheels will be completely changed; 26 is stock for both front and rear (25.8 and 27.1 after the tire change front and rear respectively). It should have an effect on the speedometer as well. The front will also appear lower and the rear taller slightly. It still is a safe setup, but honestly, I've never heard of any member getting a higher profile tire for the rears than the front.

Sorry made a mistake I'm actually running 255/35/19 in the rear.
Getting the 245/35/19 installed tomorrow! Hope they have no issues mounting/balancing it on the stock rims

Thanks again for the replies.

winter is around the corner.

i am thinking of doing a square setup for my tires on stock rims.
can i run a lower section width on my rear tires. im thinking of doing 235 or 245 all around with the same sidewall height.

thanks

Your set up 245/35r19 front, 255/35r19 rear it"s almost square already. Why do you want to narrow the tire width in the rear, to me it looks not right.
