I can't believe how many times this exact question comes up on this forum. At least once per week. Do a search.... 255/35 and 275/35 is a proven change that will work (it is the most common tire "upgrade" forum members perform). These are the perfect tire sizes for the OEM Competition package wheels which are 0.5" wider than the standard 19" wheels. 255/30/19 is absolutely not the right size for the front of the car. It's a full inch too small (that is a recommended 20" tire size). The 255/35/19 Might rub at full lock on the rear portion of the fender liner due to the slightly larger overall diameter (this is hit or miss depending on the tire brand, wheel offset, and tolerances of each individual car). This is not a big deal; its very minor and only happens in slow speed, full lock situations.
