295/35/20 Invos

Hey guys, tried searching but came up empty, anyone runnig 295/35 Invos on all 4 corners of a 1LE? My Goodyears aren't working out for everyday driving (go figure) and I'd like to save them for track use.
I'd like to go with the 295 all around to stop the peeled look on the rear wheels, and stay square, but didn't know if they'd fit on the front without rubbing. The car is still box stock alignment wise, I know they'll fit on the back since the nittos run narrow and a 315 PSS will fit lol...
Thanks

Do they even make that size? I have never seen that.

I looked into the thought of running a full set of 20'x10.5" wheels I talked to Forgeline.

The thought was to run 295/35-20 all around. With a small spacer (1/4" on the rear) I would be able to run the same BS all around. The camber would have to be right on but it should tuck.

I decided I've spent too much money recently and wheels will have to wait until next year.

My compromise is to run 285/35 up front and 295/35 out back. I'm getting a set of Pilot SS in the morning. Hopefully.

The 295's are too big for the stock front wheel so either go 285 all around or go staggered like me, or best case get wheels and tires if you have the coin.

Hope that helps...

FYI

The 275/40R20 Invos are on SS 20x9 rear wheels.

When you say too big for the front wheel, in what way? The tire will fit the rim no problem, I'm just curious about rubbing anywhere... And btw, mines a 1LE so I've got a 10" front rim and 285's all around already (for anyone that didn't catch that part)

Sure do but I'm finding they're a PITA to get ahold of.
I found the size on NIttos site...

Well my understanding is that it would be too much tire. It would kind of act the opposite way the 285's do. I'm just parroting something someone who is smarter than me on this subject told me.

I just had my Pilots installed 285 front and 295 rear. I could literally smoke my GY's through third with the traction control ON the Pilots not so much. Think sling shot rocket ship with not even a hint of traction control activity. They got installed this morning.

Like I said though the plan is to get wheels in 20x10.5 all around with 295's. That should be the ticket if you don't want to step down to 19's and run the 305's.

The issue with Michelin's PSS is depending on which 295/35-20 you run, they vary in width...the 105y in Ferrari configuration is the widest 12"s across, and running that on a 10"s wheel in the front would need the right offsets to fit

I've got 105Y on a 10" wheel pictured. These are PS2 though, not the PSS

Well, they look good on there...but the PS2 tire you have is 10.5" tread width, the PSS I have in Ferrari configuration is 12" tread width...

I guess I'm just gonna go with a staggered set of daily driver tires and go ahead and bite the bullet and get my Forgestar 18's for track use.
