What is the largest tyre you can fit on standard 19" alloys i heard you can put 265/30 rear and 245/35 front is this correct.

I'm not sure, but can't see why you would need wider than the standard 19 sizes, its not as if its lacking in grip anyway.

The standards are 225/255 if i remember correctly. I have 225/265 on mine and it's perfectly fine, however there's very slight tramlining and the speedo is out by a slight percentage. I will be going back to standard sizes with my next set. The largest you can go is 245/275 without rubbing, however it's a little ott and tramlining will be noticable. You shouldn't really change the combinations of 225/255, 235/265 and 245/275 as these sizes are fairly well matched to each other.
