Also Im going to Discount Tire in Katy, should I worry about them scratching my wheels

The one I went to was really small and didn't have lifts. So they have to use floor jacks; but I checked afterwards and didn't find any scratches.

On the tires, I would check Tirerack.com and see what the difference is in price comparing the sizes; then you should have an idea of what you should pay. Anything close to Tire Rack's prices mounted/balanced should be good.

Ended up paying $1535

lol. Apparently they are on national back order, the fronts are coming from a warehouse in Houston, but had to pay to ship the rears from Delaware.

Picked up my tires yesterday. 275/35-19 and 325/30-19. In the picture. On the tires is a 12" scale to give you an idea about the width. I paid $347.95 for the 275"s and $477.95 for the 325's.

I'm currently running a 255/35 and 295/30 on the rear. My problem is I'd like to go up to a 275/35F 305/30R setup, but I'm worried that a 275/35 might rub. (Lowered 1" all around, considering possibly another 1/2" drop eventually.**)

**On K&W v3's if anyone has these with such a drop and could comment, I'd appreciate it.

They [Discount Tire] have a 265/30 but I have been told that you want a different side profile for the front/rear with a front bias. So a 265/30 and a 305/30 would not work together. Is this correct?

2nd question, if cost is somewhat of a concern, but not major. Is it a noticeable difference from a 295 to a 305. And would it have any difference based on front widths?

So say if I went from my current 255 to a 265 or 275, will the 295 in the rear be a good offset, or should I bump to the 305?

Put it to you this way. Got new GF. I could hang one on the end of you know what.

HOLLLAAA! Top is 245, bottom one is 275. Comparison pic.

These tires are liiiiight, btw. I picked up the 275 with just 4 fingers and didn't put any strength behind it. I'm going to weigh them both.
