Preferably with 285/30/20.. I have 275's currently on my l-sportlines but the next set of tires, I want to see if I can do 285 with the same ride height(tucking).. I do have a +48 offset but I want to see how 285 compare to 275's in terms of appearance..

TIA

rmmgs4 is one person that i remember who had 285 and now 275, you can ask him for pics (but he has 19x10)

imho the difference between 285 and 275 are very little in terms of the height for tucking

it's going to be quite a bit fatter though, but with your offset you should be ok

Alwilliams and indio have 285/30/20 on 20x10's i'll find some pics for you...

bluelex

don't know if you can really tell in this shot but i fugured since it has both mine 275/30/20 stone so-3 and Al's 285/30/20 stone so-3 it might help a little

heres 2 20x10 on 285/30/20 so-3's

Seize, you have some beautiful wheels man!

Hey guys, thanks for the info/pics... There is very little difference but it does look like 285's appear to me that they fit better on 10's.. no??


Sieze, how low is your drop? From that angle it looks like you have no finger gaps and looks like you are rubbing.. You have a +48 offset as well?

bluelex

i don't think they fit better , but they do make it look thicker. it depends on tatse. some like the 285 look cuz it looks meatier but it sometimes makes the wheel look smaller and some like the 275 cuz it looks even with the lip of the wheel thus making your wheel's lips look bigger and flush.

with seize he has a 1st gen gs which has much bigger wheel wells so you can't really look at his tires to wheel well as an example.

i agree with blue, the 275 has a better appearance to me, i went the same setup

but of course, if you want traction than 285 should be the way to go. i have 275 and i think that's enough, though to me, i think 285 looks better on the 10

Will there be the need of any fend mods if using 285/30/20 on the back?


I have another question that i hope you guys can answer for me.

I want to pick up a set of Falken St-115 because they last pretty long compared to the Toyo T1-S


But they only make 275/35/20. Will i have any problems with it on my +42 Offset for my 99 gs?

You should be fine. You may rub if the offset was lower. I have not see the Falkens in question but sometimes tire shape comes into play as different manufacturers build up the tires slightly differently. Other than fender modding, you can go to 265s but that is not optimal to do. I say go with the 275s and see but there are other members here with 20s with +42 offset and they are fine.

I know that D2Autosport has his iForged 20x10 with +42 rear. Mine is +38 and I had to shave so it does not take much to cross into fender mod territory.
