They don't "hangover" that much to be honest.

Haha. Yeah they look pretty square actually.

Wonder what's the weight increase with those hips.

Do you have a link for that data image you show? Looks good.

I can weigh them before and after mate.

That would be great!

Maybe you guys are already clear on this, but I doubt this size works in the rear on a lowered car with the OEM wheels. I’m guessing you’ll have rubbing under compression without more camber and rear offset.

I’m doing 295/30 in the rear in a couple weeks, but it will be on a 19x10.5 ET45 wheel.

Yes mate, lowered cars may have a rub issue with 295 but the 30 profile helps prevent this on OEM settings.

Going off a wheel/tyre calculator your new wheel will poke out 1.3mm further out from the hub and be 11.4mm closer to the suspension strut.

To me the oem rear wheel would actually have better clearance in this situation?

There’s plenty of room in the rear to go closer to the strut.

From the pics, it looks like a 295/30 on OEM wheels would rub the fender under compression if the car is lowered.

Doji desu · 03-27-2018, 09:23 PM

Going closer to the strut with less poke means reduced track regardless of extra rubber on the road. That is definitely not legal down under, ok where you are?

You’re extending rubber on both sides with the setup I mentioned and it barely impacts track. I don’t live down under but I highly doubt the regulators understand a couple mm one way or another.

Would make sense as there does look to be a little ‘bulge’ to the 295/30 tyre on the oem wheel.

Just got my 295/30 installed. Holy shit are these beefy and intimidating. Gotta remove the spacers as it bulges out too much.

What tire did you go with? What size up front did you go with?

Michelin PS4S. Still have the stock 245 up front as there's still significant meat on them. The rears lasted one "season" because of the car's ridiculous torque.

How do the rears look? Any rubbing issues? Is there much more understeer from such a F/R tire difference?

They look gangsta from the rear, no rubbing. I don't notice understeer on the street. Check out Porsche and their f/r differences...I believe the 911 (one of their 1000 variants) has a similar setup.

I'm thinking of going with the 275/295 setup to get rid of the OEM tire stretch once I kill off the Conti's. I'm guessing it's helping you get the power down better? I've got just about the same bolt-ons as you except I've got the MPE instead of the Dinan exhaust. I'm roasting rear tires too much. lol

Any updates on any rubbing? Especially in the front?

275/295 will take the stretched look to a balloon look which should protect the tire sidewalls. I'd bet 275 front would make spacers unneeded.

295/30/19 rears don't look that bad to be honest.
