Front and rear tire sizes

[Jalum64]

I'm currently lowered on H&R springs on my RWD GT and purchasing ESR SR07

19x8.5+30 fronts
255/35 tires

19x9.5+35 rears
275/35 tires

I've been informed that my car is going to handle differently because of the tire size difference. I could understand if I was using a 20in in the rear or going with far taller tire in the back, but correct me if I'm wrong. The difference in the front and rear tires will have very little impact on performance or handling other than having more rubber on the road. I have thought about going to a 245/35 on the front just because I'm unsure if the 255 will clear the fenders without scraping.

does "differently" mean better? or worse?

Changing the tire brand/model will make it handle "differently"

I'm running the same on the back, but have a 245 x 40 on the front. The amount of "meat" looks right front and back. also that keeps the 30mm difference between the front and back, like it was with stock rims. I'm RWD, assume you are too as you are in FL.
