Reporting in: max front tire size on sport rims

AntiVenom · 12-03-2015, 06:52 PM

wheel offset is going to play a big role in this. gotta compare apples to apples.

275 probably is the limit on the 9" sport wheel without spacers, doesn´t seem unreasonable.

I wouldn't do it with any other tire, but I had a 295/30r19 Hoosier A6 on the front sport 19x9. This was a setup bought from a national champ autocrosser as well. Didn't rub.

Are you lowered by chance? 295 is crazy. I'd like to see how that looks.

Wait.. why would you want to increase your tire width on "non summer tires for winter"?

You realize you want a narrower tire for snow right? A narrow tire will cut through the snow better to contact the road and get grip. You only want wide tires if you are off roading in snow/sand/mud whatever. For the street, you want narrow.

Lowered about an inch and a quarter. I'm hoping to run rear 19x10 rays on the front and rear (20mm spacer on the rear) and 295/30 r888. Hoping and praying it fits with with some extra camber. Lol probably running -2.8 front camber this next year.
