What do you guys think about this setup for the stock SS rims?

oldfriend · 05-12-2013, 08:09 PM

What's in there to be that much more than the OEMs ?

SSCamaroKyle · 05-12-2013, 08:25 PM

Im not sure but they are like the best rated tire. They are suppose to be amazing. I was just curious about the sizing.

RoadMonkey · 05-12-2013, 08:29 PM

I've heard a lot of positive things from others who have used that tire.. I plan to try them on my next tire change (different size choice) but same tire.

285s need a 10" wheel...

VR Baron · 05-12-2013, 10:11 PM

They dont make the 275/40 for your 20x9 rims in the back. Other then that they are very good street and track tire that wear well dry or rain If I dont do Nitto invos, those are the other choice

SSCamaroKyle · 05-12-2013, 10:29 PM

No 275/40. those are the closest size . Will they work?

Well I am running the stock 245' tires on my tsw 20x9 rims up front, they do work and handle well, but I wouldnt want that small size tire on the back rims if thats what you are thinking.

Judging from the difference in size ( 275) vs (285 ) , it's only 10 mm wither , than the OEM , this will give you an extra 5mm , to each side of the tire ( inside/outside , so if you can picture the ( corner ) off the tire ( at wall/thread coming out that much ( just short of 1/4 " ) , and in your eyes it looks clean , do it

This issue is the tire diameters. 285/35/20 is only 27.9" in diameter. That's a full 1" smaller than stock (245/45/20 - 28.7").
You should try to find a front tire that's closer to that diameter if you want to run that rear tire size.

SSCamaroKyle · 05-13-2013, 10:10 AM

What I'm trying to accomplish is running these tires on the stock rims. if someone could give me the correct size to do that I would greatly appreciate it. These tires are limited on the sizing. Check out tirerack. http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....ot+Super+Sport

Rudy@Tirerack · 05-13-2013, 12:59 PM

Unfortunately there is just no good way to do it on stock rims. The tire will either be too wide for the rear wheel or the front and rear will be too far off in diameter which can cause issues with stabily control.

They're expensive but the Michelin Pilot Sport PS2s come in 255/40/20 (28" diameter). That would work with the 285/35/20 you want to run in the rear. You could also get 245/40/20 (27.7") in a different brand tire for the front. Some very good tires come in that size.
