But a 265 front and 295 rear will stay closer to the OEM diameter ratio and will interfere less with the DSC. 305 is good for the rear but it essentially makes the front and rear the exact same diameter which is not ideal for DSC. You get zero benefit from an 11" wheel vs a 10.5" wheel unless you can get a deeper concavity with the 11". Not many wheel companies maximize the concavity for an 11"; most of the time, it's just making the pad on the wheel thicker. Basically, you're just adding more weight with an 11" wheel.
9.5 front 22 offset with a 265/35x19 and 11 rear 43 offset with a 305/30x19 fits perfectly without rubbing and specific suspension. Exactly the same diameters don't interfere with the DSC and it's same as a square winter setup. The advantage of an 11" rear with a 305, is a 305 doesn't comply with the tyre and rim code on a 10.5" wheel, a 305 is too wide for 10.5" and 11" is the minimum legal width.
