Default 335/35/19

Would there be any harm in putting 19s all around the car and using stock front tire size and 335/35/19 for the rear. Instead of the 335/25/20. More side wall is better?

Thanks.

More sidewall is better for ride and impact damage protection, worse for handling. If the diameter is the same as the 20s, should be no ill effects otherwise.

Gkzr1 got some matching replicas in 19s and mounted some drag radials on it and he seems to be happy with it.

I'm blowing the stock tires off the rim and the car is completely stock. I wouldn't mind driving around on a radial. The car is a weekend warrior and mostly used for races in Mexico. Any suggestions for a setup that looks nice (black rim, not such much wheel gap)? I am very new to this as i have always had AWD cars. I really like the ZR1 Cup wheels however with the 20inch rim in the back i doubt i can find a tire that is going to help. I already have an appointment set up for "stage 1" upgrades (650 rwhp). I know im going to need something once that is complete.

I run 19's all around. 345/30/19's on the back with no issues.

Has anyone used the 305/35/19 Mickey Thompson radial on their ZR1?
