Tire sizes for stock sport wheels?

Jeffblue · 07-28-2010, 08:53 PM

the 305's are truly massive. a 275 is not exactly a narrow tire, and the dwarf them.

Yeah, people have been fitting 275/35/19s up front with no issues rubbing. You wouldn't want to go any wider than that, though.

If you order through the TireRack link in the Wheels & Tire sub forum you support the forum (the forum gets a small commission payout for each Tire Rack referral).

This is a big thing for me toooooo. I wanted to go with the 305's but then I thought, is the look worth putting the miles off on the car??? It sucks whenever you want to sell the car... Plus the speedo, I donno.... Not sure if its worth it yet...

Nubz · 07-29-2010, 11:17 AM

It shouldn't be off by much. I think its only off by less than a mile an hour...

Spedometer would be 1.4% to fast
so at 60 you would be going 59.2, which imo isnt bad at all

I agree however what I am trying to say, is that worth ONLY looks. Having the bigger tires is really nothing more then a look. Is it worth throughing it off for that?

I donno, something I need to find out before I order tires though, haha

Well, like a stated above, I like the look of the bigger tire.

So, m4a1, are you planning on keeping the H&R Spacers on or are you going back to stock offsets with the new tires...?

I will keep the spacers!

There's still space under my deck, BTW. Rent is cheap!

wheee! · 08-11-2010, 02:31 PM

I am considering it....

Any possible issues with leaving stock width upfront and going to 305 in rear?? My '07 911 carrera had 255 front / 295 rear. Absolutely loved the staggered look. I was thinking of leaving fronts stock and going 295 or 300 rear..
