What do you guys think of the below setup? Is 265 too much for a front? Both front and rear are 22+ offset. My car is not lowered. And If I do lower it, I would only get the Hotchkis springs which only lowers .5 inches in the front and .75 inch. Any thoughts or advice would be helpful.

Front: 265/35/18

Rear: 285/35/18

Read that thread, I got the feeling he was more worried about his rims width and if those tires could fit. I'm not too worried about that since I know the rims on my setup is wide enough. I was hoping someone had the exact setup as I mentioned on the topic to chime in.

The other thread also recommends 255F and 285R, My situation has to be 265F and 285R and if it has any bad side effects. Performance loss?

 

I am pretty sure you will gain little performance due to smaller diameter of the tires than stock set up. The only thing is that your obdometer will be off by a little. If you want wide set up, that would be the set up. I don't think there will be any issues.

 

Thanks for the info, SSK.

Here is the rim setup:

Front 18x9 22+
Rear 18x10 22+

I am hoping those rims width and offset will get the tire flush to the outside body. Reading your signiture, it seems you went with different offsets depending on the front or rear.

 

i am also running 18x9 and 18x10 but with a +24 offset. i was thinking about running the same tire set-up that you're planning on running. i currently have 245/40 up front and 265/35 in the rear. i'm thinking about moving those rear tires (265/35) to the front and buying some 285/35 for the rears.

 

Im Running 20"x8.5 And Rear 20"x9.5 With 255/35/20 Front And 285/35/20 Rear
