285/35/20 Tire Question

[Pinegreen]

I was hoping I could get a confirmation with 20x10 wheels and tire size.

I have a 2017 Model S and currently have 20x10 +32 for the rear setup of a staggered set of wheels. The wheels are running 275/35/20.

Will a 285/35/20 fit without rubbing? Or should I be looking at another set up with an offset a little bit higher like +33 to +35 (may be buying another set of wheels)?

I’ve searched and so far I’ve seen the following setups running 285/35/20 on the forums:

WedsSport FT-117 20x10 +35
Avant Garde M580 20x10 +38
Avant Garde M510 20x10 +35
TSW Nurburgring 20x10 +35

I did find one person running Avant Garde M510 20x10 +32 but there was no mention of rubbing (I PM them but have not heard back yet and the post was a little dated).

It seems like 20x10 +32 is a little more aggressive than what others are running based on the numbers that I have found. The setup now is pretty much flush with the fender.

Compare the tires (on tire rack) actual measured tread width. Some companies 275 may fit like a 285 and vice versa. Then set your car to low, and if you can have someone sit in the trunk. See how much room you have between the tire and the fender.

Any reason why you can't replace the tires with the same size you have now?

Personally I'm planning to run a 275/35/20 (general gmax rs) with 20x10 + 40 wheels in the rear.

Thanks for the info. I plan on going 285 to get a slight bulge to help protect the rim. The wheels were slightly scuffed (have since been repaired) when one tipped over on to cement. The 275s on there now are pretty square (straight up and down) with the lip so didn't provide any protection...besides, I like the look of a wider tire.

At stock height, if 285/35 on a 20x10 +38 doesn't rub then +32 shouldn't rub either. Your setup has 6mm more clearance at the shock tower and 6mm less at the fender lip.

I'm running 275/35 20x10 +26 on my car with lowering links and it doesn't rub. Right now my sidewalls looks a little stretched so I'm planning to get 285 or 295 for my next tires because like you, I want more rim protection.

Sorry... pics of what? The wheels on the car? The stance from behind?

Yes to both. Might be upgrading wheel and looking at all options. I have SAS and worried about the fenders if (more like when) the air suspension fails.

I ended up going with 245/40/20 and 285/35/20 and there is no rubbing at all at low setting. 20x9 +27 and 20x10 + 40.
