So, ive done some research using the search tool on this site and im still unsure as to what size rear tires to go with.

Currently I have fairly new Hankook v12 245/40/19 on the front and almost bald oem tires on the rear.

Im thinking about the hankooks for the rear but im not sure what size? i was considering either the oem size or possibly going wider in the back. Since I have the oem size on the front, what can i expect with going wider on the back? What size is reccommended if id like to go a bit wider?

They currently have the following sizes in Hankooks:
275/35R19XL 100Y SBL
275/40R19XL 105Y VSB
285/30R19XL 98Y SBL
285/35R19 99Y SBL
295/30R19XL 100Y SBL
305/30ZR19

Also, Ive always been a fan of having matching front and rear tires but the soft sidewall with the hankooks have me a bit weary....

-This is my DD with some "spirited driving" mixed in.
-I live in Houston, so snow is almost never an issue.
-I currently dont have spacers but am considering some within the next year or so.

Thanks for the input!
