Holy crap, batman! you know you're running tires like at 5 and 8 % too slow over stock. that's bad ju ju imo. I definitely agree that they will ride better than 35 series but your speedo is off big time.

I'd be more worried about wheel/tire speed differentials. The rears will turn a different speed than the fronts. That is one of the stage gates for ABS/TC/VSA activation.

Might not be enough to matter , but I always thought is was generally accepted that all wheels/tire should be the same diameter.

yea having the sidewalls different height is a bad idea... but hey if you don't drive aggressively you should be fine

after driving a little more last night it started to rub...... so I will be pulling them off and putting on 245/35/19 all around. thanks for all the reply. very helpful thats why I love this fourm. what if I did 245/40/19 all around you think it would work. haven't seen anyone have it on tl yet. I just want a better ride cause 235/35/19 to bumpy.

Hey bro, 19"x8"? Stick with 235/35/19. It's the best size. If your rims were 8.5" wide, then you could do 245/35/19. Anything bigger than a "35" size sidewall and you will rub.

BTW, Work Rezax II's are ballin' shoes!
