Did I Mess Up?
I chose a 305/30/19 for a 10" rears and a 275/35/18 for the 9" fronts. I see most people have the 305 on an 11" rim.... is the 10" too small for the tire?

So, maybe I did! No replies must mean no one is using these sizes on their set up? My wheels are on order, but I already have the tires. I can exchange them for a smaller size if I need to (particularly the rears)

Check the specs on the tires from the Tire Rack web site - they have the recommended wheel widths for each size tire. I'd probably go with the 295s on the rear also.

YUP! I have heard it being done, personally, I wouldn't. You won't get the performance the tire is capable of. The rim width determines how the surface of the tire (contact patch) sets on the road.
