There really isn't much difference between 275 and 285. If the 275 is substantially cheaper, I'm going with it. If it's like $20, I'll probably go up to 285. 285=flush sidewall, 275=slight curve. This is probably the best 275 fitment I've seen on a tire yet. Thanks guys! I think I've found my tires!

I believe I speak for most of us when I say...

245s do not belong on 9.5" wheels. It will be stretched, and look out of place with an otherwise beautiful set0-up.

I don't think 275s belong on 10.5s either, but the 245s on 9.5s is a worse match.

I am starting to hate my 245/275 setup

Go with a 255/265 and 285/295 setup

Well, you got plenty of replies to make your decision, but FWIW, I have a 19x9.5" +19 and 19x10.5" +17 wheel setup, which is pretty close to the GT-S offsets in the same size.

Anyways, I have always ran Toyo T1-R's, but so far I have run:

1. 245/35/19 and 275/35/19
2. 255/35/19 and 275/35/19
3. 255/35/19 and 285/35/19 <-- next week

I can say that setup number one was not to my liking, because the 245/35/19 was too stretched. The current setup I have right now is great, since it gets rid of the stretched look up front. However, the rear 275/35/19 is SLIGHTLY stretched on the 19x10.5" wheel, although nowhere nearly as bad as the 245/35/19 was on the 19x9.5" wheel.

Next week I should have on the 285/35/19. I have no issues with the 275/35/19, but just wanted a little more rim protection, so I decided to go with the 285/35/19 in the SAME Toyo T1-R tires. I have already gotten my fenders rolled, but since Toyo's tend to run narrower, I hope that I shouldn't have any issues. I had wanted to run a 295/30/19, but I had to step up to Michelin PS2s, Pirellis, or Continentals, which were a LOT pricier, and tend to run wider than the Toyo's do. Toyo T1-R doesn't come in a 295/30/19 offering, or that is what I would have gotten.

Also, you can look here for more information (although pix may not work, but good info):

Just as a note, the 255/35/19 and 275/35/19 will give you less understeer than a 255/19/19 and 285/35/19 because there is a 20mm stagger front-to-rear with the former vs a 30mm stagger with the latter.


Good luck!
