Pics of anyone running a 295/40/20 on a lowered car?

Someone correct me if Im wrong but if you go up in width doesn't the height go up a bit too even if you stayed the same height. Say you went from a 285/35 to a 305/35? Someone told me this but Ive never really checked myself to see if it was true. If it does or doesn't I'm sure it couldn't be much.


Keoni I've seen people running 305 with np.

Op thats A LOT of money! I'm no roadcourse expert but I dont think theres any negatives or positives with what size rim and tire your running up front.

TSW Interlagos 20"x9.5", -23.5lbs, -48mm offset, 3mm spacer
TSW Interlagos 20"x10.5", -24.5lbs, -63mm offset, 13mm spacer
Tires Invos
Front is 275/35x20"
Back is 315/35x20"

Good lookong stance what kind of springs do you have?

That looks good! But unfortunately I would have to custom build some rims to have a larger offset than what they offer in the single piece cast wheels I'm looking into. Plus I like me some concave.

the first number, 315/35, is the nominal width of the tire in mm. the next number 315/35 is the height of the sidewall, in mm, expressed as a percentage of the nominal width. So yes, increasing the trie width and keeping the same series sidewall/aspect ratio increases the tire height.

Thx for the clarification dirty

No problem. :beer:

Rears are niche nurburgs 20x10 +40. Tires NT05 315/35?20. FRPP K springs

With no drop they did rub on hard bumps but barely, now that I'm dropped they rub all the time. With a +40 wheel the wheel itself is pretty much flush with the fender. A 295/40 is 10 mm narrower than what I have which will be 5mm inboard than mine theoretically, but that depends on the tire manufacturer. Your choice would be considerably taller and know you would rub badly. I'm in the process of trying to get my mounting pad of my wheels shaved down 5-7mm. I ordered some 275/35/20 tires to run for now but will find a way to run the 315/35/20 rears because I love the fat tire look.

Were running 2953520 on basic eibach springs on my bros 2011 GT. There is absolutely no way he can run a 29540. You can only fit a finger or too between the tire and wheel.

Are you running a staggered up on those Nurburgs?

 

[StevenStarke]

I have 295/30/20 nittos

Yeah 20x9 up front with 255/35/20. Looks small with the 315/35 rears lol

I wish Niche would offer the Apex Sports in 20x9....but for some reason they think jumping from a 20x8.5 to 20x10 is okay...

 

[konabluekiller]

20x8.5 should be fine. That might actually be what my fronts are. Ordered from cruizinconcepts.com

All this talk got me thinking, So Im curious Ive got a set up for next spring 20x10.5 and thinkin of goin with 275 35 20 on rear, I'm already lowered on Eibach sportlines. Would like some feed back. Am i ok with this or should I go with 285 30 20, my fronts are 20x9 with 255 35 20

a 275/35 on a 10.5 rim will not fit. Period. Contact patch of the tread on the road is only 9.3" on most tires that size. You will look like every stanced out Honda in Cali, no offense.

On a 10.5 rim, I'd go no smaller than a 285, but 295 would be preferable.

Hate to say but your wrong is does fit tried out a Yokohama tire 275 35 20 when i first got them,and the fit was there no honda stretch look,but wanted to try 285 30 or 35 before buyin my tires but no one had any available to try.
Take a look at pic. Should i go up to a 285 30 tryin to get aggresive look without rubbin issues

I thought a 10" rim was max width for a 275 tire...but you're right, it does fit from your picture. I don't think it's ideal to run that setup though. I would imagine the sidewall is already stressed.

I would think a 285 should work.

Go through the 2011+ Wheel and Tire thread that is a sticky here and look through some setups. that's what I did before starting this thread. I know there is a guy running a 10.5 rim with fatties out back....but IDK if he is lowered...

My only concern,because you know once you by them tires theyre yours.Was also thinkin of raising rear abit with prokit. Dont get me wrong this would be for a cruising street setup and meets, I will have a set up for the track

I appreciate the repsonse, but I really would like to stay around the 540AA UTQG rating that these DWS have, also stay in the ultra high perf all season category.

To me, this is the most interesting post in this thread. Can you elaborate on *why* you want that rating, and why you want all-seasons?

It's on the wheel but doesn't really fit. It is clearly stretched. On a 10.5 you should at least have a 295 on there.

Maybe because his car is driven year round and he doesn't want to buy new tires every year? At least that's why I bought them.
