If you go with a 255/35 front, you're going to want to go with the 285/35 rear, IMO. This will keep the sidewall of the rear tires taller than the side walls of the front tires. Regardless of overall diameter, I think it looks best to have more sidewall on rear tires than front when having rims that are different diameters front to rear. I'm betting it's just an optical illusion type situation and will depend on stance and even rim or car color choices but a safe bet would be to make sure the rear has more sidewall.

If you put the same diameter front and rear, having the same side wall front and rear looks fine. Could that still be a possibility for you instead of staggered?

Maybe some of the design guys will step in and can offer other alternatives or point you in the best direction. I'm just stating my opinion.


Oh and welcome to the site.
