295/30/20?

[Todd]

Anyone running a 295/30/20 up front? I’m running Michelins on a 10.5” wide rim (ET 17) and I just don’t like the stretched look it has.

Rear I’m 325/25/20 on an 11.5” rim and the sidewall looks nice and square.

I'm running a 295/30-20 up front. 10.5 ET 21. Fitment is pretty square, no stretch. Rear is a 315/30 on an 11.5

Michelin Pilot 4S?

Are you lowered?

Any rubbing?

Thanks for the reply.

Yes, 4S’s. Not lowered, precision pack car. Fitment is really good, even if lowered wouldn’t rub.

So the more I’m researching this, I’m not sure it will work with my 325/25/20 rears.

Apparently when you get close to a 3% differential in rotating circumference on these cars, f vs r, it triggers traction control, as the car thinks rear slippage is happening. It’s about a 2.5% differential f to r between a 295/30/20 and a 325/25/20.

315/30/20 is a much closer match to 295/30/20, but I’m not ready to swap out all four tires with only 2k miles on them.

Also, I think I’ll just end up with the front square and the rear slightly stretched (opposite of what I have now) because 315/30/20 Michelins are 1” narrower at the tread vs 325/25/20.

Tough to tell from your photo exactly how square the 315 is vs the 295.

Sounds like you guys are running aftermarket wheels. Im still running the stocks. Not sure what the offset is on stocks vs the 20s your running. My concern is if the larger tires will fit on the stock wheels without rubbing?

Here is a better photo of the front and rear for you

Thanks.

Here’s the mismatch I’m trying to solve. I think both of your sidewalls are in between what I have.
