Tyre size question
I am planning to change the crappy contin3 to cup sport 2. My local shop advise me to fit on wider tyres: front 255/35/19 and rear 285/35/19.
Anyone has experience with wider tyre and will these fit? |

Im running 255/30/20 up front and a 295/30/20 in the rear. Wheels are 20x9 up front and 20x10.5 in the rear. If you are lowered you may want to go 30 sidewall in the rear

Nice! What is your wheel offsets? Also I'm assuming that the rear tires are not stretched at all?

I'm 265/35/19 and 285/35/19 PSS on stock rims. Perfect fitment, only a little beefy but with my 1 inch drop it's puuuurfect

Here you go, this was with about a .5 inch drop, it is now about .8 inches. When my car is clean I'll post more photos
I wish but I actually got slapped with the Contis. But you're right if your car comes with the PSS, then this is a no brainer.

So I'm guessing with H&R springs lowering the car .8 inches, your tire sizes should work. Are you running spacers with the stock wheels? |

I'm on the M performance suspension right now, and just had the ride height readjusted/realigned this week to about .8 inches. I'm running no spacers, don't really like the idea of spacers, so I wanted to achieve as flush as possible with just rubber.

Correct tire to wheel fitment should be most important and you did it right! 265/285 f/r is the perfect width for the stock wheels. Thanks for sharing your photos.

My stock PSS was busted last week on the track. Planning to get a pair of AD08r for the front, but worried about the rubbing issue.(coz the size is 255 and AD08r is known as the widest in the catagory) Thanks a lot! |

This is good to know. I was hoping to get 295's in the rear, but I'm sure 285's will be just fine. |

295's will have a slight budge and you won't gain any additional grip with that width on stock wheels. 285 is the ideal size on a 10" wheel.
