295/35/20 Michelin tires for fronts, anyone running them?
I have been searching all over the forum to see if someone is running 295/35/20 Michelin tires on the front wheels. I have 10.5 Niche Apex Wheels with 35+ offset. I have read that they run much wider then most tires. Reason for these tires is because I can get a pair locally for a really good price. If you are running these, please let me know if you have any issues with rubbing. Thanks.

Sweet, so since my fronts are 35+, I would be good to go?

Quit being a pu$$y

Quite the opposite. With your width and offset you will have 18 mm LESS clearance between your tire and strut than someone running a ZL1 wheel. I picked my wheels and tires to be as close as humanly possible to my strut, so I know exactly how much room we have. I probably have less than 3mm clearance, so I don't think your set up will clear with out a spacer.

Man, that was a great explanation. Looks like I will be sticking with 275 or 285

I have 285/35 super sports on a 20x10 with a 35 offset. I have about 1/2 inch clearance. That's with xa coil overs. Stock struts you won't clear with my setup. A 295 might clear on coil overs but you won't have much there for an aggressive camber.

What do you guys think about running Nitto NT555 275/30/20 on a 20x10.5 for my fronts? I can get these tires for my fronts. Would it look weird having a 35 profile on the rear and 30 profile on the front? Thanks again guys for your feedback.
