What rear you run will depend on what wheel/tire size you have up front.

275/30/19 is closer in height to the 235/35/19. Definitely going to have to do work to make that fit though.

I don't really know for sure since that setup is not recommended by us at all. 265 might work but you have to be careful because the height of the tire is really crucial in your case.

1. front and rear will be a lil stretch but match even
2. best tires set up for XI

The problem here is not only ET and space.
You can not differ too much in height front/rear due to the 4-wheel drive.
Too much difference in rolling circumference will either give your distribution-transmission a hell of a time, or makes the car go into emergency mode to save the transmission. > top speed 25mph...

So compare different alternatives front and rear and find a setup with preferably same height. You can use the calculator above or others you find on the net, and you also find the accepted differance in % if you do a search...

You can also reprogram the car to be less picky about the wheelsizes front/rear, but I do not think this is to recommend...

i did lots of search already, 225/35 and 265/30 only have .1% diff which is almost no diff at all , as long im under 1% rule for AWD i think im good , many people on here run these set up too
