Why did you choose that tire size?

I guess my question is directed more towards those running 19s but feel free to chime in if you have 20s too.

I've been looking at everyone's setups and it seems like the stock wheel/tire diameter has been somewhat ignored. Whether you got stock 18s or 19s, the stock diameter is right at 26".

I ordered wheels 19x9 front and 19x10 rear and I'm going to get 255/35/19 front (26" diameter) and probably 285/30/19 rear (25.73" diameter). I should probably get 295/30/19 rear (25.96" diameter) but I'm afraid the tires are too wide and might rub but also the tire I'm getting doesn't come in 295.

From what I've seen, most people are running 235/35/19 or 245/35/19 on the front and 265/30/19 or 265/35/19 on the rear.

What's up with that?
