True, but it's a 1.5" shorter than the rears. That's sort of extreme in terms of ABS input. So why not a 305/30 on the rear to be in the same range of tire diameter? A 285/40-19 is the same diameter as a 285/35-20. It's not too tall. I'm lowered with 285/35-20s and 325/30-20s.It's too tall, over an inch taller than the 35. And with plans of dropping the car, taller wouldn't help with clearance. The wheel gap matches, which I thought it would.
