11.4 is the section width. Tread width is 10.2.
If the tread width was 11.4 it would indeed change things dramatically. But I'm still not a fan of 275's on the front of this car. IMO you should sell the rears and correct the mistake you made instead of trying to fix it with another mistake. Last edited by VisualEcho; 06-16-2020 at 01:42 PM.. |

The 265/30 PS4S is 1" wider TW, and .5" shorter The 295/30 PS4S is 1.4 wider TW, and .3" shorter So you'll add a bit of understeer, and add just a bit of rake (a good thing). |

If it were my car I'd sell those rear tires and get a set of PS4S in the standard sizes, they're awesome, and the balance will be perfect. For a standardly driven car, everything else is a compromise. |

Are you running any type of suspension? I'm running a M Performance Suspension (so lowered but at stock/port-set height) and no camber plates - was thinking 275/295 (30/19) but 265/295 (30/19) might be a wiser choice?

A LOT of that stretched look has to do with the fender/quarter gap, and where the tire sits in relation to the fender/quarter. Basically if you add spacers the stretch will appear to be less, and dropping the car will do the same thing. Doing both will make the same tire appear far less stretched. It's just because of the way the light catches the entire sidewall. Let me prove it to you. This is AndrewC1989's car. He's running stock size tires, but he's lowered and has the wheels spaced all the way out. Look how flat his sidewalls look compared to the standard pictures you see of these cars. His is the black car, and the blue car wears the same size tires, but isn't lowered and has no spacers. |

Bad picture but went with Michelin PS4s 255/35 and 275/35. Couldn't be happier, the car is playful again, has great grip and even rides a little better. Thanks for all the help everyone, coming from truck and rock crawling world I'm use to different set of rules
