I've got 285's on the rear of my 350 . . . sporting some Volk TE-37s (19 x 10.5" Rear, +22 offset). It looks great, but if I were to do it over, I would go with wider tires--rim protrudes and has no rubber to protect it from curbing (basically, the tire, ideally, needs to be wider )

first off.. the 295's are .9inches SHORTER then the front!

I hope this car isnt planning on bing drivin with VDC on because it will not even get off the line without slowing down to a stop frm VDC...

If it were 285/30 / 295/30 it might work.. it is onl .3" diameter difference.. I think they recomend 3/4ths of an inch or an inch difference in diameter

Umm...for the record, factory tires are about .7" shorter in front than the rear (on 18's) and .4" for 17" ...

And Paul, I am running 295/35 in the rear ... gimmie a call or shoot me an email (we seem to be good at that).

I've done the research, 285/35-19 are no farther out of spec than 275/35-19s, and actually, just a little closer to spec. Im going with them next.

Thanks folks - We found a combination the customer is happy with.

He had specific brands of tires he wanted and 10.5 rear wheels. So we had a lot of research to do to find a combination he liked.

Again Thanks
