Default tire size

has anybody ever run 285/35/19 on their car?

i know a lot of people who have run 275/35/19

not too sure. 275 is the tire width right, and 35 is the profile?
let me know, thanks

i don't think the difference is big enough to cause a problem

if you're gonna run that fat setup, especially with the 285, depending on offset... you're gonna be burning your rubber with your fenders. have fun with the sounds and smell.

on the GS you could, but on the SC, good luck. it will work if you dont lower the car much though. 1" max with this setup. if you get the equivalent size for the fronts, you're gonna rub as if you had 20s.

I seen peeps run 285/30/19...and it was dropped pretty low....no finger gap....no rub....and no fender mod.

You can run 285/35/19....but get the right wheel offset and a moderate drop....so you dont rub.
