Default Fitment question

Hello all, question..I have a set of Ruff Racing 278 wheels and am
unsure of which size tires to get. The wheels are: 2 19x9.5 and 2 19x8.5. I was thinking 275/35 19 would fit for all 4. But the front offset is 30mm and 35mm I believe. Any ideas? Any help is appreciated, thanks!

dunno about those offsets, but on those wheels, i'd use a 245/35 up front and a 285/30 on the back to keep a stock diameter...

In case anyone has this question in the future I went with 275/30/19 for the front's, and 285/35/19 for the rears. There are spacers in the rear and apparently the fronts rub a bit. That's according to Just Tires who installed them. I've now driven about 250 miles (since I'm at the OCMD car show) and I believe they only rubbed once and that was because the road was crappy. So it may have just been the road and not the tires rubbing.

u put a 275/30 on an 8.5" rim??? and a dealer installed them??? omg... thats gotta be so pinched on that narrow rim, i can't believe someone who installs tires for a living would even mount that... and also, that rear tire is over an inch taller than stock... y did u go with a 35 series??

Actually it fits rather nice. I went with 35 b/c I knew it would fit. Haven't had any troubles with it and I drove to OCMD and back.

Reviving a dead thread for some advice, need new tires and looking for recommendations. More than likely these are going on a C5 Z06 if that matters.
