Default You can figure it out...
What's your factory tire size (you want to keep the same overall diameter)?

255/30/19:
((255 x 0.30 x 2)/25.4) + 19 = 25.02 in. OD

255/35/19
((255 x 0.35 x 2)/25.4) + 19 = 26.02 in. OD

Not really concerned about the overall diameter. My main concern is rubbing, etc.
