Eagle f1 asymmetric 19' wheels

Hi guys looking at getting some Goodyear's heard good things about them and a big saving over ps2's!!
The problem as most people that have looked know is they don't make them in 225/40/19 for the front, seems like most go up in size e.g 245/35/19 and 275/30/19... But some have issues with handling, They do them in 225/35/19 and 255/30/19 would this be ok? Just reducing the side wall size slightly..
Thanx

Shouldn't cause a problem .... apart from for the poor tyre fitter that has to pursuade them over the bead

I owned the 2003 Z4 3.0SE AC Schnitzer Motor Show car for a 14 months. It was fitted with 19" 8.5" ACS alloys all round. When I purchased it it had 235/35 fronts & 235/30 rears & handled perfectly.

When the tyres needed replacing I stupidly put 235/35 on the front & squeezed 265/30 on the rear (Falken F451's). Then I could not live with the tramlining. On anything but smooth motorway the car was an accident waiting to happen. DON'T mess with factory fit sizes!! They have been chosen by engineers much more knowlegable than you or I.....

Standard are front 225/40/19 and rear 255/35/19. I would not be messing with the width for that very reason you just said! Only the size of the tyre wall would be changed!! In Theroy this should not affect the handling. Or should it?
