but its much heavier then the 265/30/19 no?. And would the stock csl rim fit on the 285/30/19? would this have any advantage to change to 285? better grip i suppose or?

As far as I remember Loaded is running 295 in the rear but don't have info on rim offset. It was a dream to drive with 265 in the front and 295 in the back. With 265 in the rear it was quite tail happy :thumbs:

I'll piggy back on this thread for similar sort of inquiry.

Will 245/35/19 at the front and 275/30/19 at the rear cause any type of issue?

Wider tyres = taller side walls as the 35 & 30 represent percentage of the tyre width so 35% of 245 is more then 35% of 235. This will increase lateral movement/flex of the tyre side wall and therefore the whole chassis :banghead: Furthermore, your in car instrumentation, in particular the speedometer will give you false readings.
You're better off sticking to recommended OEM sizes and widen the track with good quality spacers :beer:

What good quality spacers do you recommend Matt?

What can I get away with on mine for the rear?

H&R 12 mm is what I used with that particular set of wheels mate ;) and it's what I'd recommend for the rear only. Pic below to demonstrate.
This is where I got them from: http://www.motorsportworld.co.uk/fra...725&PID=613035 :thumbs:

I used to run 245 on the front and 255's on the rear - I like oversteer :)
245's gave better turn in and more grip up front.
