also just so you guys can see what we came up with, these are the tires I think we are going to run. if anyone would like to give there opinion on if these will work, or not go ahead and chime in.........

the tires are 225/35/19- front

overall diameter- 25.20in / 640.08mm
sidewall hieght- 3.10in / 78.74mm
radius - 12.60in / 320.04mm
circumference- 79.16in / 2010.6mm
revs per mile- 825.3


265/30/19- rear

overall diameter- 25.25in / 641.35mm
sidewall hieght- 3.12in / 79.248mm
radius- 12.62in / 320.54mm
circumference- 79.32in / 2014.7mm
revs per mile- 823.7


we seem to think these tires will work, without causeing any problems on my car. from my understanding you have to be 15% out of size to hurt something, and we think this is around 2%......any input?
 
Also the on/offset of the rim could affect wether or not such a big rim/tire combo might cause problems.
 
I'm going to assume you have front/rear reversed, because nobody with any sense would suggest wider tires on the rear of a DSM in the Handling Forum.

[edit: Mark Daddio considered running 285s in the front with 245s in the rear on his Evo, so 265/225 isn't a radical idea.]

Those tires probably won't cause any grief for the center VC, as long as the wheels are also staggered such that the stated diameters are accurate.
