Help tire sizes PLease

Hi Everyone,

I have a set of wheels that are 19x11 in the rear. I want to do a 255 30 19 michelin pilot or bridgestone rft. I am on Kwv1, x drive. Do you think this will work?

The fronts will be 225 30 19 on a 19x9 and the rolling diameter is less than 1% difference.

It should work fine. I assume the wheels are et20 front et25 rear or something like that. You probably made typo, but front tyre size needs to be 225/35/19 with 255/30/19 rear. Those have 0.7% difference.

You should do 225/35/19 and 265/30/19. With the 255 the rear will be stretched more than the front.

Going up one size in width makes that much of a price difference?
