Wider is better, RiGHt?

i have 235/35/19F and 265/30/19R now and i was thinking of putting 235/35/19F and 275/30/19R by pulling the fender out. What do you guys think?

youre increasing the rolling diameter in the rear, even moreso than you already had by going to 19s, but if that doesnt concern you, wider tires are always good if you dont drive in the rain....

Michael,

It really depends on the offset of the wheels you are using. As you know, I had my fenders pulled in order to fit 245/275. To be quite honest, there still is occasional rubbing, and I'm going back to 235s in front, and possibly 265s in the rear.
