so i can run et30 to et35 in the front? will et40 fit in the back?

jangy

yes you can. It actually like 40 in the rear with a 10" lip.

the sizes you are talking about are a 2% increase up front and 3% in the rear. Not too bad, but i usually try to stay under 5%.

Rafal

Yes, perfect.

i'm trying to stay as close to oem diameter as possible. i know how much diameter and more importantly, unsprung weight, can negatively affect performance. for that reason i didn't want to go 20's no matter how good they look so 19's were my compromise. i read your tire write up and appreciate the work. if i could have found an oem replica in 10x18 i would have just moved the rears to the front and gone that route but oh well.
