I’ve tried both. As long as car is not unusually low. A fender to ground measurement of 25.5-26” and it will clear.

265 tire on a 9.5” rim will look a bit stretched. Better on a 9” rim. But it will bead up fine.
275/30 will give a more square side wall and look better imo.
Guess it depends on the look you want.

275/30 taller than oem 255/35 but it’s close enough.

295 on 10.5 rim is perfect. Almost exact diameter as the oem 275/35
305 even better looking although I’ve never ran them myself.
If you have oem suspension, it may rub? Check with the 305 club...
I think with coilovers 305 shouldn’t rub at +35

How about 19x12 with 315s. I'm now down to 11" wide with 305. There was just too much stagger between the front and rear with the 12". But the 12" fit just fine with the right offset.

do your wheels sit flush without using spacers? I wanted to get a new set of wheels and was looking at +35 offset for the front and +25 for the rear. Just planning on running stock tires.
the wheel size im sticking to stock as well, 19x9 in front and 19x10 in the rear, but not sure if these offsets would sit flush.

Would the rear (19x10) of the RCF fit on the front?

Some of this info seems incorrect.

I'm no expert. But with my rims and offsets, (19x9.5 +44 on the front) I have signs of rubbing the inner fender felt on the front running 265/35 tires. It's likely from the hardest bumps or from hard turns with bumps. I don't know exactly when it happened. But the evidence is there.

But if you don't care about the felt, then it's a nonissue I suppose.

Yes 19x10 oem rears will fit on front.
The offset is a bit high so depending on how low the car is. It may rub. Especially at full lock under compression.
Of course it depends on the alignment and correct tire choice too.

I run 19x10 square with +35 as my track wheels and it fits. But I run a bigger diameter tire than oem because track tires I use don’t come in 265/35 and I want square front & back. Currently running 275/35/19.

I heard Pete runs 295/35 on his track set up using gram light wheels at +35. Not sure how he achieves this unless his car is at full stock height or higher? I’ve tried 285/35 and it scrubs like crazy. Couldn’t even drive the car and my car isn’t that low.
