For the rears, 285 seems a bit too much. Try with a 275/35. Tire choice is somewhat odd on tirerack, but it would straddle the middle ground of 265/35 and 285/30.
Could also do 275/35/19 on a 19x10+42.
(This is all speculation and guesswork on my part, I have no background experience with aftermarket rims.) |
I find it interesting that you said that "For the fronts, you may want to shoot for a slightly lower offset or move to a 245" considering we are going to be running the exact same wheel size and tire size. Only your wheel will be 1mm closer to the fender than mine?... I would like to call them and ask them to shave the front to a +38 offset but I'm not sure what the clearance will look like on the suspension.
The problem with the 275/35 tire is that its 26.57" diameter compared to 26" stock. 265/35 is 26.30" and 285/30 is 25.73". I'd like to stay as close to stock diameter as possible for the spedo and mpg calculations.
