245's on the front on a 9" and 305 on a 10" on the rear
 
So... The tires will fit, I know 305 is a bit much on a 10" rim
BUT is the width difference too much where I'll get a lot of... Whatever I'll get?

I don't care about the sidewall flex and roll on the rears, I like 305's, lol



Thanks in advance! :tiphat:

Don't go over 20% on your width. 9" divided by 0.0393= 229. 229 times 20%= 274.80. Rear is 304.89. The "whatever you get" you're talking about potentially could be a tire blowing off the rim equaling a not so good day. 275/305 should be fine and safe but some tires will have flex and stuff which will hurt performance.

I want to go 245 and 305, I'm wondering if the 60mm difference is too much

ive heard stories about having handling issues above a 40mm deviance from front to rear.

40 is the magic number. I usually like to stick to factory stagger or under so basically 30mm or below. I will be experimenting with 40 though down the road when I go 315 and 275...... Basically your rears will track to the road really bad and your fronts won't.

I hate you all...
I really wanted 305's... And if I WANTED to go 275 on the front, I can't, because the RE-11's only come in 275/30, and I'd want 275/35 to maintain about the same sidewall as 245/40...

But I don't hate you all!!! Thanks for the info guys!

But don't most crazy super cars (Lambo/Ferrari/etc) have a crazy stagger?

Ex: I'm looking at the Gallardo and it says 235/295 F/R

^ yeahhhhhh... What he said? Lol

You could look at a different tire if the one you want doesn't come in the size you want...

I had a 40mm stagger and it understeered a lot. I've since gone wider in the front back to OEM stagger of 30mm and it's much better in the turns.

I want RE-11's and the front comes in 275 as a bump up, and a SLIM sidewall

Are you planning on tracking a lot? If not, the PSS is a better Street tire.

No, but the RE-11's somehow last longer, and for the love of Christ, don't bring up Treadwear numbers... They don't mean anything against other brands, just within a brand
And RE-11's are cheaper...
And they're less noisy than my current Yokohamas

I didn't say anything about treadwear, I know it's an intra-brand thing than an inter-brand thing.

However, my PSS' have lasted longer than 20k. :tup:

Cheaper... yes.

PSS' are quiet on tarmac. On Concrete meh, but no tire is quiet on that. I will say the PSS are wayyyyy quieter than stock, to give a reference.
