[QUOTE="Catmonkey, post: 15778298, member: 124025"] Yes, I am putting on a set of True Forged wheels which are 20" diameter. I will likely put on 285/35-20s up front at some point, but the wheels came with a perfectly good 275/35-20 MPSS, so I'll probably use that for a while. My experience has shown me that the cross section width will probably be about the same as a 285 with a narrower tread width. If the weather is not too bad, I'll take some measurements on the clearance with the strut on the stock SVTPP wheel and the 285/40-19 I have on it now. I haven't touched the car in a month with a back strain and a really bad cold. I'm also going to add a wider hoop to the rear wheel and will end up with 11.5" of wheel width. I know it's going to increase the cross section width from my 11" wheel, but will give me the same offset. I'm hoping the decreased diameter, and higher spring rates will minimize contact with the inner fender. In all likelihood, the 325 mounted on the 11.5" wheel width should be pretty close to the 335 on a similar sized wheel. Here's an example why. This shot is my 325/30-20 and a 295/35-20, both on 11" wheels. If there is any difference is a very small fraction. [ATTACH=full]1454071[/ATTACH] Here's something to consider.
