Whats the advantage/disadvantage of having the bigger size? or smaller size? And what do you guys think of those Euro wheels? Good quality?

255/40R17 looks great on stock 17" 8.5" wheel. Why wouldn't 265 look good on 9"?

If you look on tirerack.com, you can compare tire sizes, and how many turns per mile, thus matching the stock turns per mile. Different sizes vary by manufacturer, so check it before buying!

235/265 in my opinion would look fine. have the exactly same wheel specs other than a 9.5 rear. The setup is perfect.

I personally put on 235/35/19 and 255/30/19 rear. They look great but the only concern I have is the fronts tires, in that , I think I should of gone with 235/40 because the tires are so low profile that there really is no protection on the rims from large bumps or potholes. I leave in chicago so potholes are infamous out here. Maybe with all this stimulus money to fix the roads, Ill be okay for a while.

Plus I am using Yokohamas Advan Sport tires that are more low profile than others , I believe

run 35 series, you need the clearace for running 19's, the 40 series additional protection is very very small.
