Going to a 275/35/19 in the rear will only increase the rolling diameter by 7mm over stock. It will also reduce your visible fender gap a little. I actually think a 245/35(f) and 275/35(r) is a great way to go.
thanks, I appreciate this. The problem is, I'm buying ZCP wheels with tires, and we're doing a swap and driving home on the new wheels. So I get that I'm loosing significant overall diameter, I'm just trying to rationalize whether it'll cause serious issues, like handling issues?

I'm aware that the rears will wear faster as it'll have more revolutions per mile than stock.

so this guy, he's also using 275/30/19, although he's running square 19x10 AVG wheels,

I suppose my rear gaps would look like this?



same car, just a blue wrap:
