I noticed on the spec set up, that you are running a 235/35/20 inch tire for the fronts, Is there any reason, rather than the standard 245/35/20?

coz' he has 275 in the back on 10 and that's a bit stretch, so 235 is a more similar look in the front. but to me 245 is better, that's just me

Yeah, I honestly think its just that we get "set in our ways" based on what was previously availible! For example when 20s were relatively new and catching on, the standard size was 255/35-20, which then gave way to 245/35. I did the calculations and my reasoning was supported mathematically in the higer overall diameter of the front tire, not just looks.

I think this is the reason major tire companies (Pirelli, Conti, etc) are bringing 245/30 and 255/30 etc tires to market. I really went round and round on this, and chose the 235/35 as it lines up mathematically (only a .02" difference in OD), to the rear 275

As I said previously, its not like a major big thing, but I just wanted to address something was a annoying thorn in my side! LOL

Because I want to maximize rubber (for ride quality), I would have attacked the rear and went to 285s. Just different needs. If my rear offsets were a little less aggressive, I would be going with 285s.

Hmm. I wonder how much neg camber I would need to do this since we know the Nittos wear pretty well even with minor camber tweaks. It is kind of stupid, but I am reluctant to lose the entire fender tab.

imho if you want to put 285, just shave off the whole rear fender tab. it's easier and more worth it
