Default Need help on rim sizes

Thought I would move this over here, no bites over at rims and tires.

I would not recommend the 295/30/19 on the rear with a 275/35/18 front.
The 295/30/19 is mighty short tire, and I wouldn't recommend using it with anything taller than a 265/35/18 or 285/30/18 up front.

A 295/35/19 is a much more popular and safer choice.

Also answered your thread in the tire forum.
