It's not so much the height of the tire, you just don't want to run a wider tire in the back than the front unless your car is naturally not balanced (mid or rear engine cars) or you want to create understeer. Nissan staggered the tires to create understeer so people don't kill themselves, creating more is just as stupid. Drive at your own risk

I think the rears might be fine with 285\35\19 on 25mm spacers with 1.0"drop in the rear.
Oh snap......back to square one on the learning curve...... I just learned that to keep the car from alot of understeer, that I should be looking at similiar ratios to stock. For the RE-11's the ideal combo is 265/305 but what I am hearing is that the 305 is too large for the 19" sport wheel, that is if I don't do anything else. Other tires come in different sizes that will have the right ratios.
This is making my head hurt! I may just go with stock sizes this time around and wait to see how everything looks and fits (tires, drop, spacers) after the Eibach springs are swapped out for Swift. I am keeping my 20mm/25mm spacers.
America's Tire has a tire calculator for checking ratios. Gonna go crunch some numbers.
