Lol, doesn't the manual clearly state that a staggered setup is awful for the drivetrain?

Yes, extremely bad for it. I'm just confused why someone thinks you need tires that big on an AWD car.

I am sure it wont be bad because tires went inside by 2 inches not outside wheel bearings will be fine when I test drove it it handles 5 times better than stock almost like a go kart

335/35/19 rear 275/40/19 front creates a variance of a little over 2% in different wheel spin. Not good for an AWD car. At least got the same overall size tires and wheels

It's about 1% difference so its ok for awd also why Audi r8 has different size tires like 235s and 285s something like that and runs fine?

I put on a different brand (same stock size) tires on the rear of my car and got a awd service message at 80 mph. Then I bought 2 matching brand tires for the front and the problem was solved. The car is very picky so don't be surprised if it doesn't work.

They are set up that way from the factory, so that's why they work. GTR also has a staggered setup.

I am sure ill be fine 1% difference it just makes me laugh when ppl say it won't work why do you think we have differential in our cars? So that every wheel can spin at different speed put your car to rally on dirt 4 wheels will spin at different speed and nothing will happen same as i have 1% and 5 pounds difference in wheel weight nothing happens....

I hope it works for you. I will reiterate, I used the same size, but different brand and had problems. The guy that mounted the tires told me I hafta do all 4 at the same time and I thought he was full of it. I measured the diameter with a tape measure and didn't find any difference in tire height. But sure enough I got, lights on my dash the first week.

Different brands rate/measure tires differently. For example, one 225 wide tire can actually be wider than another 245 wide tire. Hell, sometimes this can even vary between different models within the same manufacturer.
