I don't like the look. The rears are 19x11 et25 with 295/30/19s. The previous owner put these size tires and Im not sure why. Id rather not but 4 new tires being these are all literally like new. But at some point Im going to need to buy them. What would you suggestion be for front size tires with 19x10 et 20 on swift spec R springs? These 255/30s don't rub at all. What would my best bet be for front sizes?
265/30R19 F and 295/30R19 R is a fairly popular combination. 275/30R19 will look more square on the wheel (10" is max recommended width for 265/30R19) but may be challenging to fit without rubbing. It is possible that the previous owner stretched the front tires to avoid rubbing issues the way the car sits, so be prepared to do a little bit of fine tuning if you want to go larger without any rubbing.
