295 fronts and 315 rear seems acceptable. Give the car a bit of rake.

I have a set of 285/40 SS on 19x10 wheels with a +30 offset and they are close on the front to the strut. About 3/8" gap. I would think the 295 could fit with a different offset though.

I think the PSS are just wider, or more square shouldered. The Invos, and I have same as you, have more tread on the ground in proportion in size to the stock P Zeros. The 315's have about 11.25" of tread, the 275 P Zeros about 9.5"

Ok. So you think the invoes are a ok tire . I don't track the car it's a weekend nice day cruser .

Geez, I missed this thread. I thought a 315 width tire was a 315 width tire. I'm replacing 315 Invo's with 315 Super Sports on an 11" rim. Hope they freaking fit.

I meassured my 315 invos and they are 315 wide, that means overall tire width. Now the tread width is what is smaller as the invos curve inward from the sidewall to the tread itself. Pzeros and Michelins are more of a square sidewall and have a wider tread or contact patch

Hey guys. I have 1" eibach lowering springs and I have TSW NURBURGRING 20x10 (35mm offset) rear. The Nitto NT05 315/35 and NT555R 305/35 were fine in terms of clearance. But when I put Mickey Thompson ET Street Radials II 305/35 they rubbed at curves. :( does anyone know why? Is it the offset or the 1" drop?

Here's how they stack up compared to my 315 Toyo Proxes ST IIs.

Looks like I'll be getting PSS in 295 next tire change.

franknbeans · 05-02-2014, 10:31 AM

I have 9.5 and 10.5 rims.

Was going to grab the PSS 295/35 20 for the rear... What would be the best size for the front?

toehead93 · 05-04-2014, 08:46 AM

I was planning on getting Michelin PSS 285/35/20s for my 1LE, do you think the 295s will fit up front without having rubbing issues?

OhThatGuy · 07-13-2014, 08:09 PM

I just picked up some Goodyear Supercar tires off of a ZL1 and carefully measured those 305/35/20 tires on a level surface (they measure 333mm wide-over 13") unmounted. My Nitto Invo 315/35/20's are 20mm narrower mounted on a 10.5" wheel. I sure hope the Goodyears fit in my wheel wells.
