265 or 255 front

Hey Guys

I got 19" x 9.5 45mm offset all around, should be here Thursday

Would I have problems running the BFG KDW2's

Front - 265/30 ZR19 - Rim width range 9-10" Overall Diameter 25.4"
Rear - 295/35 ZR19 - Rim width range 10-11.5" Overall Diameter 27"

Or should I go with the 255/35/19 Overall Diameter 26" for the fronts?

Is 265 too wide? I don't want to worry about rubbing.

Would the 265 look funny being shorter?

Stock 01 coupe lowered on stock bolts, no cut bushings.

I want to order these tonight so I can get them mounted this weekend

Thanks,

Mike

I don't know if they will fit , but you might check with one of our tire vendors. They should be able to give you the answer
265 should fit the rim fine...I'm running with the BFG KDW2 265/35 18 front on a 18x9.5 wheel. :thumbsup:
Thanks guys,

I ended up going with 255/35 and 295/35 because the the overall diameters were 26" and 27". This was closer to stock and didn't want as much of a gap in the front with the 265/30

+45mm offsets are not common for a C5, are you positive your info is correct ?....If you have pics please post them :cheers:
