285/35/20 all around?

peaman427 · 01-26-2012, 01:48 PM

I was thinking of putting that size all around but unsure as to how the car will handle. Wheels are 20x10.5 all around also. Fronts are +30mm offset and +27mm in the rears. I currently have 255/35/20 in the front. Just want to get rid of the stretch look on the fronts. Any input is greatly appreciated.

265/40/20 fronts would be a better bet

265 40, thats like truck size

285's up front are going to cause the rear end to slip out much easier. the reason for the staggered setup is to induce understeer (which is much safer, tho not as cool looking admittedly) so unless you like to drift anywhere you go when you are driving hard, i'd keep with the slightly staggered setup. nothing wrong with going to wider tires as long as you keep the stagger pretty similar. that's just my opinion. it depends on your driving skill and what you want out of your car. most people who have track only cars go with a square setup but it is not really desirable on these cars on a street setup

That's huge.

285 35 20 is almost 1" bigger than the 285/35/19 I run on. YOu must like the 4x4 look

Typo galore in this thread.

285/30/20 all around is fine with those offsets.
