Wider tires
#2
My summer tires are 275/30 front and 305/30 rear, but that’s with 19x9.5 front and 19x10.5 rear so a slightly wider wheel that can still run stock tires and support wider.
One thing to keep in mind is if you go wider the overall radius of your wheels will be slightly larger or smaller, which means your odometer and speedometer will be off slightly.

what sizes are you thinking of?

The best tire width is usually the factory width. Wider wheels are used mostly to get a deeper lip on the rim. Even with wider wheels I would try to keep the factory tire widths.

Yes but specifically for the GSF, rear is 275/35, I stayed within a 2% difference in diameter... if you want equal you could go with 335/25 on 20s but I wanted to stay with 19s.

If you are talking visual performance I would agree. For mechanical performance, the GS F needs as much rubber under it as you can stuff in the wheel wells because the car is so heavy. A Supra at 3400 pounds tracks best with 315s on all four corners. GS F and RC F at 4000 pounds could use 335s all day long if they would fit, but I don't think there's any easy way to fit a tire that wide to either end of the car.

You definitely shouldn't run a wider tire on a none-wider wheel. If the tire is a 305 or roughly 12 inches of cross section, your wheels should really be at least 11 inches wide. 11.5 would be better. If you don't run the proper width wheel with a wider tire, you'll get a lot of tire squirm, especially on a heavier car, which in turn actually hurts the handling of the vehicle.

Does anyone know if I can fit 285/30/19 in the front on a 19x9.5 +38 rim with stock suspension?
I tried searching around all threads are on about going widest in the rear.
I plan to do 305 in the back and want to keep the same staggered ratio.
Thanks.

you ever end up doing this?
