Need input for 19 in wheels

Looking to get 19 inch wheels for my ride. Any problems with going to a 19 x 9 in front on 255/35/19 and 19 x 10 in back on 275/30/19?

as long as you don't have 4M you can stagger the wheels....I have also read it's difficult to locate and care for 19 inch wheels.......
but that's just a read you know? with finesse and care anything can be taken care of...
are you planning on lowering too?

have fun with it!

don't have a 4matic, also don't want to lower and mess with ride quality or the airmatic suspension. Not sure what you mean about the care for 19 inch wheels?

yes, I only meant that some have said avoiding holes and bad road is more important with more than 17 or 18, just something I heard you know?

Make sure you check the pricing for the tires on the 19". They are much expensive than buying tires for 17", 18" and 20". They just don't sell well so the cost is high to produce low quantities.
