275F/295R on stock wheels

[TheBayA90]

I'm running a 265/285 setup as well (PS4S) and there's still a tiny bit of roll to the rear sidewall. The fronts are nearly square so while 295 shouldn't have any issues on the rears... you'd definitely want spacers on the fronts I'd think at 275.

Based on both how it drives and how it looks... 265/285 is how it should have come from the factory IMO. Much better grip - enough to cost me a couple MPG... though how much of that is increased resistance and how much is more confidence (resulting in more go-pedal use) is debatable.

I currently run spacers, 13mm front, 15mm rear. Will I run into any problems with the 265/285 setup with spacers on stock wheels?

Some people run 275s in the front without problems. If all you do is cruise to car shows then you will be fine.

If you push the car then….

Jesus wtf, should I just add spacers or something? I am not a straight line racing boy, and that looks nasty af

While spacers would provide insurance and a better look... if you stay with stock suspension you should be OK except under extreme corner loads. It might come down to the specific tires and sidewall shape and/or rim protection rib.

If you plan on dropping it at all - then spacers will definitely be required.
