Default Who is running 245/35 & 275/30-20

Hi, just wanted to know who is using this set-up with what rim specs? Any fender mods? I'm asking because although it is "out of spec" and bigger than stock, They run cheaper than other tire sizes. Thanks...pics would be great!

I'm running it as well on +35 and +40. I rub just a tad when the wheel is completely cranked backing out of a driveway in the front.

In the back, I used to rub a little more on bumps but I think I've worn down the lining so much now that it rarely does now unless I've got people in the backseat which is rare.

No rolling or shaving for me.

Also have a 1" drop on F-Sports springs.

I know there are not many tires available, but wouldn't a 235/35/20 be a better match for the 275/30/20 if you want to keep the OD the same? I'm gonna order a set of Vossens within the next 2 weeks and I can't for the life of me decide which tires to run.

You are correct and i have ran those before. I'm asking because i already have 245/35-20 tires already. I was just thinking that 245/35 and 275/30 are sold/recommended often with wheel packages.

Ideally, i'd like to use the sizes you mentioned.

yes they are mostly sold with wheel and tire packages but it doesnt mean the are correct for our car. you can use them if you like but you may run into some rubbing. the one i see all the time is what's mentioned above with the front rubbing on full turns.
