I'm not an expert in this area, just trying to gather info to make the best decision. My wheels should be in this week 19X9.5 +22 F 19X10.5 +12 R. I think I'm going to run a 305/30 in the rear and a 275/30 in the front to maintain the stock 30mm stagger. So I can definitely report back with my opinion once they're on.
Nope not noticeable for something as low as a few pounds, don't believe the hype

I would have run a 255-35-19 front and a 285-35-19 rear
