Front tire size? 275/30/20?

samkaplunov · 02-20-2019, 01:23 PM

Hey everyone,

Do you know of any issues with running a FRONT tire size 275/30/20? Michelin 4S... on an oem 343 wheel.

I know that original size is 265/35, but curious if you've seen any problems running slightly wider AND slightly shorter in height?

My only concern is you may lose some of the 'feel' of the steering with the wider and shallower depth spec on the fronts.

I've just gone to 275/35/20 Michelin PS4s, I know it's not the exact same but I've experienced no rubbing or issues so far and haven't noticed a change in steering feel.

How does the handling feel with the turn in to corners and have you any spacers f/b fitted.

Went out for a hoon the other night and to be honest I never noticed anything out of the ordinary. I don't have any spacers fitted at the moment. Thinking about going 5mm all round as I have 305s on the rear.
