The "Will it fit?" thread

Thank you.


I am aware of tire calculators and have used them many times.


They are very helpful when trying to decide on rim offsets and clearances. I am not sure if they are so good on telling me if the front/rear tire combo that will not freak out our computer. I believe the ratios between the front tire and rear tire circumferences has to be within a certain percentage. So I just want to make sure that I do not exceed that prior to buying a set.


Thanks again.

If you bumped up front and rear by 20mm to 265/35 and 305/30 you’ll have the same .4% difference in circumference as before, which is less than 1% so you would be fine. And with your wheel offsets I suspect these bigger tire sizes won’t be an issue

Ok. Thank you.




So, Please correct me if I am wrong, but if I wanted to keep my current fronts, I could go to 295 in the rear. It is 0.8% difference in circumference which is still under 1%.


Right?

No more than 3% difference.
