Tire Size Help on 19"s w/ slightly lowered e320
Just bought the following wheels:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/330735789035...ht_3596wt_1396
Front Spec 19x8.5 ET32
Rear Spec 19x9.5 ET35
I currently installed H&R springs that gave it a 1.3" (front) & 1.5" (rear) on #1 pads all around.
My dilemma is should I get 235/35/19 or 245/35/19 for the fronts?
Tirerack calls for 245/35/19 for the fronts , but my car is lowered so should I go one size smaller 235/35/19?
Rear is pretty easy, I plan on going 265 or 275 w/ 30 series. Should I be concerned with these sizes?
If anyone has this setup please chime in.
Thanks in advance

Tirerack are wrong...235/35 19 is closer to the standard diameter required and is still 5mm bigger. The 245 would be too big.
Your rears should be 265/30 19 since they will be very very close to the diameter of the fronts. It's important that the diameter of the front and rear should be very close so that your cruise control is not kicked out at higher speed.
