I have seen multiple people running 295 in rear and 275 front.I’ve read this entire thread, twice.
I’m going to order wheels and tires for MY LR. I wanted as much diameter and width as I could put without lifting the car.
I see 275/40’s on 21’s on front, no spacers, so the 40mm offset, is a fit. 295/40’s on 21’s rear—no issue. Taking into account the MYP is .6” lower than my MYLR…. I’m pretty sure if the 29-30” diameter is fitting a MYP, it’ll fit my MYLR.
The wheels I’m ordering I can specify offsets—so—looking for clarity and experience.
Given that steering knuckle proximity, I’m thinking of a +35 offset vs. +40 on the front, which should give me for sure clearance on that steering knuckle. Any downsides to that? (Guys running 285’s on 9.5’s with 40mm offset—so I’m thinking I’m good even with the 40mm offset?)
Also noticed, another member COULDN’T fit 275’s on front with the 10.5” rim on front. That’s the only “Fail” I’ve seen on the 275’s up front.
Also noticed, another member running 285’s square on 9.5’s… no problem. So, I’m guessing the steering knuckle is only an issue on a 10.5” rim with the +48mm offset.
And another member, without posting offsets, is running 275’s on 10” rims…no problems. But they didn’t post offsets.
I’m planning on 275/45-20’s on front. 32mm offset (or stock 40mm offset) on 9.5” rims up front. I’m looking for experience on this.
I’m planning on the 295/45-20’s on the rear. 40mm offset (or stock 48mm offset) on 10.5” rims in rear. Looking for experience of input on this.
This decision based on all I’ve collected in here so far. Those of you more active, or having sampled tire sizes—this is my final check before ordering…what am I missing?
Also Ive seen people AUTO-X with aftermarket wheels with square 285/35-20, then they have had 10.5" wheels and ET40 (so means tire is further from knuckle). But I cant guarantee it will work with any aftermarket setup, as I havent tried it my self. I do believe that if you want to buy new rims, you could also use 9" wide wheels and use a lower offset, maybe around ET30. But I cant guarantee fitment
I think it is pretty safe to do the 275 front and 295 rear with 35 profile.So I'm trying to sift through the posts to determine the best route here. The Pirellis that came with my MYP are nearly nuked after 12K miles. I'll probably get 15K before they're toast. I do have a winter setup, but looking to get a bit more mileage out of a replacement tire, so leaning towards getting the Pilot A/S and calling it a day.
But... What is the consensus on stock rims and going up in tire width? Does a 275/35 F and 295/35 R fit, no rubbing? I'm on stock everything on the car. I don't want to deal with any issues, so if I'm just better off staying with the OEM sizes, I will gladly do that. Also seems like some are going with a 40-ratio tire? But wouldn't the speedo be off much more than a 35-ration in a 275/295 combo? And what are the sizes people are going with a 40-ratio and OEM rims? Thanks all.
If you do 40 profile you need max 265 as they say in front, but I cant guarantee it will fit. Then you will also be driving quicker than what the speedo says, so try to not get speeding tickets!
Tire sizes are also not always equal, for instance PS4S is a wider tire than many cheaper tires, even though the width specified by manufacturers seems the same. But I know the Pirellis and the Michelins have been tested with 275/295 on this forum. I also saw one guy do 305 in rear, but maybe keep the ratio between 255/275, so do 275/295 (20mm difference in thread width f/r), thinking so you keep the car at its stock ish handling.
