Experience 19" all around

Any one have any direct experience running 19's all around?

I'm looking at 19 x 8.5 245/35/19's up front
19 x 10.5 285/35/19's in the rear

I THINK my calculations are correct

Or is the general consensus 19's up front - 20's rear?

It's very common to run 19's all around. While others prefer a staggered setup i ran a 19x10/19x11 setup on my Z a good while. No issues.

My last set of custom wheels were 19" on all four corners. With the right tire combo to keep an acceptable stagger, you'll be fine.

I don't have 19 all around but do have 20's on all four corners. Love um and they fill the holes nicely. Ride is excellent!

I also ran 19's on all four corners for several years. I've since gone with 19's on the front and 20's on the rear.

Running the same exact set up as Patches. No issues...

Not loving the 30 series profiles, and thinking of going with 295/35/19 rear, and 255 or 265/35/19 front, when these wear out.

/I had the same set up as Patches.. 19's on four corners. 19X 10 on the front, and 19 X 11 on the rear.

I then went to 19 X 11 ( 275/30-19 ) on the front
and 19 X 13 ( 345/30-19 ) rears with Carbon fiber 2'' quarter panel flares.

Here is a shot of the old rear 305/30-19 rear tire on the right next to the new 345/30-19 on the left

I'm an old guy, but I can still remember having sex on the hood of my 58 Corvette.. Actually not on the hood but on the front panel. The hood was too far back and too rough with the louvers. Yes we had sex way back then too. Yes I know TMI....and Im not sorry. .... then, or now...
