id run OEM ZCP sizes, but it depends what "look" you're after. Those fronts are on the skinny side.

Thanks, I agree leaving the fronts 245x35x19 because the BBS are only 1/2 inch less at 8.5". I guess my question is really with the rears, would it be OK to go to 275x35x19s since the BBS rears are 1" wider at 11"...and I feel the 265s would look too stretched? Thanks again, I appreciate the quick response. ~Jeff

oh duh, man I totally spaced and didn't read 11" for the rear. 275 should be fine or even a 285
