wixy New Member 18 Member For: 8y 5m 17d Posted 18/04/17 01:50 AM Author Share Posted 18/04/17 01:50 AM Thanks. Can I fit 275/35's to the rear? This is significantly cheaper than 275/30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larger OD tyre means you will be actually traveling faster that the speedo reads. Just use a gps and to gauge the difference and then mentally adjust what tyres are you fitting ?

wixy New Member 18 Member For: 8y 5m 17d Posted 18/04/17 05:20 AM Author Share Posted 18/04/17 05:20 AM (edited) Why do you say to use 245/40 front? 35 front and rear matches the original factory tyres so speedo shouldn't change? I am fitting re003's or pilot sports. Edited 18/04/17 05:22 AM by wixy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wixy New Member 18 Member For: 8y 5m 17d Posted 19/04/17 09:59 AM Author Share Posted 19/04/17 09:59 AM (edited) Thanks guys. Any advantage/disadvantage to running 245/40 front and 275/35 rear (instead of stock 245/35 and 275/30)? This should give a bit more ride comfort than stock due to thicker rubber?

What do people think of these TSW's? 19x8 front (+35 offset) and 19x9 rear (+32 offset). What is the standard FG offset? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
