Help with Tire Size

[Illinois9er]

I'm looking at ordering tires today, going with the new Michelin Pilot 4s, and am still tossing around a few sizes. The car is a black 08 and I'm running the staggered 20" Black Mamba wheels 9" front 10" rear.

I think I'm convinced I want the taller sidewall of the 35 in the rear so now I'm debating on a 285 vs 295. A few people have said the 295s get tight especially if lowered at all. Thoughts?

Also, if I go with the 285/35 or 295/35 will the recommended 255/35 for the front look out of proportion with the rear? Should I go 265 or 275 even? Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Michelin doesn't appear to offer the PS4 in 295-35-20.

I have that size tire in the rear of my 2010, and its slightly lower with KR springs. I have no fitment issues at all.

Well, that seems to narrow it for me lol. What size are you running on your front?

I run 275-35-20 in the front. Bridgestone s001s at both ends. They aren't that great.

Sounds like you might already have your answer if you want to compare tire sizes this site is the best I have found .I deal with different cars.old and new
and through the years this site has helped me compare tire a to tire b height sidewall etc.
