Tire sizes for style 230?

Anyone happen to know the tire sizes for the style 230 wheels? I am looking to get a set of General UHP tires instead of the stock run flats.

OEM size is 225/35and 255/30, but you can also use 235/35 and 265/30 on the 230.

Im running 235/265's on my 230's with no problems whatsoever.

I think its a much better setup than the 225/255's it suggests. Much more grip with my setup...

I'm running:

Michelin Pilot Sport 2
P235-35R19 front
P265-30R19 rear

There are members on the forum who have gone 275 in the rear but I think they rolled their fenders to accomodate without rubbing.

I guess you mean 235/40/18 and 265/35/18. And yes you can with no rubbing.
The tires will look kinda fat on the rims though.
