Wider and Thinner Tires on Sport Rims

Diezul · 04-13-2010, 11:49 AM

Hi guys, I've been looking at buying new tires because I got 3 nails in one tire and about 12K on my vehicle, so I figured it would just be best to replace all 4. There is still a good amount of tread on the tires, but I should just change them out right?

So I've been reading other threads about tires sizes and I was thinking about going for 255/35/19 for the Fronts and 295/30/19 on the Rears. People seem to think this is fine, but I read one comment by someone that said that it would look weird, so I just want to get more input. I'm not wanting to get any spacers. My question is what are the positives and negatives of getting a thinner and wider tire? Is this a good size to go with if my plan is to keep everything else stock? Or should I just stick with the recommended tire sizes? Thank you so much in advance.
