Tires Sizing

[Booly]

Hi,

im about to size up my stock wheels and i wanted to know if I would have any problems with rubbing or sth else on my stock suspension, the rules in austria are very strict.

I also have H&R springs & spacers at home, but im not sure if i should install it with these sizes.

Thx

You may have some slight rubbing with those sizes on larger dips but overall should be fine ..( not sure on stock suspension)

wheel fitment may also play a part in rubbing..

Im on swift springs and the same tires (except 20”) when brand new had some slight rubbing..
doesn’t really rub at this point..

Be safer to run 265/35 front and 285/35 rears

Or just run stock size.. What were the rears 10" width? imho too narrow for 305's.

I ran 295/35 PS4S on my stock wheels and believe that I could feel the sidewalls flexing / deforming when hard cornering. I’m now on 285/35 PS4S on 11” wide wheels and it feels much more solid. Point is; depending on what you do with the car and your preference, I’d expect 305s to feel squishy in the corners on stock wheel width.

I forgot who mentioned it, but I remember reading that the 285 has about the same contact patch as the 295 so performance wise better to just go with 285 + what @Danimal mentioned -- looks like 285 for the rears on stock rims is the best way to go.

I'm planning to do 285/35 PS4s on the rears and then 265/35 on the front when the front goes, but for now going to keep using the PSS in the front.

And again, it all depends on what you’re after. Some folks want a meaty tire look and are perfectly OK if there’s some negative impact to handling feel.

305 will feel like absolute trash on the 10" wide wheels.

Like others state above, go 285 or so. Will be cheaper as well.

305 will feel like absolute trash on the 10" wide wheels.

Can confirm. Not fun at all.
