Say no to stagger

Au contraire, my friend! Stagger is good. :tup: You likely couldn't fit 305s in front. :roflpuke2:

I sometimes run 285/305 hoosiers... which are effectively 295/315

no probs

now mostly running 275 square setup

my offsets are flush with fenders and no interior / exterior rub

Im running 275/305 and I have had no problems. I ran the new Hankooks in those sizes on my stock Rays for about two months until I got my new wheels. I went with slightly wider wheels when I bought my TSW's, going to 9.5/10.5 which made the tires look even better, IMHO. Like I said earlier, I am running 15mm/20mm spacers as well and ran them on the stock Rays. You will have no issues at all unless you slam your car. I have not had a chance to lower mine yet and may not do so due to the local roads. I scrape a lot already.

Piece of $hit 305 isnt going to perform better against a good 285.

I know someone running 305 square setup. He said he can run 305/345 no problem. I don't know if he had to mod the car to fit that rubber though.

Might not have to, but you have to see how big your rims are and the offset too.

Yeah you're fine, met a guy running 295 A6's up front with nothing and no problems for Autox

Mind sharing the width/offset of your setup by any chance? :tup:

In fact, it'd probably be beneficial for everyone if the people that posted in here also posted up their widths/offset as well. Thanks in advance!

18x9.5 +46 with 275/30-18s all around with 15mm rear spacers to make it work.

18x10 +34 forgestars with 275 nittos all corners, +15mm spacers on rear only

The specs:
front: 275/35/19 with 10 mm spacer and 1.2 degree camber
rear: 305/30/19 with 5 mm spacer and 1.2 degree camber

Hope that helps with your decisions

Well... i have decided on going with the RE-11 tires but I have one problem here.

The 305/30/19 is my obvious choice for the rear... but they dont have a perfect matching front!

The 305/30 is a 26.3" diameter tire. The stock tires are .3" taller in the front.

RE11s come in a 275/30/19 which is 25.6" diameter. So its a shorter overall tire. I am afraid this could cause the VDC to freak out. Unfortunately they do not offer a 275/35/19. There IS a 285/35/19 which would work out to about .6" taller front, but I am worried that its getting to the point that the front will be noticeably taller and look funny, not to mention my concerns about that even fitting at all in the front being that wide and that tall.

Has anyone run a 275/30/19 with a 305/30/19 and had or not had VDC issues?

Same problem I ran into when I got new tires a while back...Michelin has a TON of sizes available for their PS2's ;)

i could see paying 360 each for the PS2 in the 275/35/19... but no way in hell i am going to pay 600 each for the 305/30/19... what a joke
