Found a 235/40/r19 grabbed it under agreement I can return it if my project doesnt pan out. ($40 with a $10 restock fee) Slapped it on a rear 9.5 ,I'm skeptical on this fit but wont know untill the adapters come in. (If it fits up well cool theres 3 more waiting if not I only lose out $10 and a little time (

couldn't find a 225/35r19 to save my life so I think I may order 2x 225/35r19 for the front and 2x 235/35r19 for the rear ( just a little wider since the rims are wider ) off ebay. can any one concur with this mindset? Place your bets ! Is it gonna work ! Hahaha

You should run the same size(diameter) tires on all 4 corners with ABS brakes. If you put different sizes front and rear, it may cause ABS faults.
Those 225 and 235's are going to be different diameters if they're both 35r's.

I rekon your right, so after a little more digging
230/35r19 is same 25.3" I have on it now. the 16" 797 revs p mile, the 19 796 revs p/mile
cts owners seem to be just going for a middle ground 9 inch base instead of 2 different sizes *edit
keep throwing out the not so obvious to me guys, might save me a pretty penny

I agree with Blue, Bowties. The rims look hot.

And agree with FMG- same size (height) on all 4 corners.

And FWIW, hanging tires way out there, does add more load on the wheel hub bearings.
