Tire help

I am looking to buy 19s staggered and I know that I need to run 245/35/19 and 275/30/19 in order to keep the speedo reading the correct speed. But i can get a set of 275/35/19 for free. Aside from throwing the speedo off will I have rubbing issues? Also, planning to lower....

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks,
Steven

Well you'll want to get front tires that are the same diameter as the 275/35/19 or the traction control might give you trouble, as the computer doesn't like when the tires are spinning at different speeds. I've read you should stay with 1-2% difference in diameter between the front and rears.

Not sure about the rubbing though
