You don't want to run 4 rears. It screws you on tires as 275/35 on the 10.5 barely leaves any clearance on the front upper knuckle. You are then forced to run the stock rear 275/35 with are extremely stretched. It's much better to run the front 9.5 all around. That way you have room for spacers and can run a variety of tires up to 285. Ideal size on a 9.5 is 275 and ideal size on 10.5 is 295.
It's a non-issue for a variety of reasons. LR and P are the same/similar weights. Then the load rating of the tires is determined by the size, and what size is one going to use with this setup? It doesn't matter, if you usedd the OE size of 255 or the rear size of 275, or better yet going even wider which would increase the load rating more. The staggered setup doesn't get its higher rear tire load rating from being staggered, but as result of the wider rear tire, bear with the chicken or egg for a sec. That may sound odd, but it's not because its staggered. And it is staggered with wider rear tires not for more load rating, but to increase understeer thus maintaining a larger margin of safety. Thus if you go squared with the wider tires, you obviously have raised your load rating all around so it's a non-issue. And most importantly from a drivers perspective going square will reduce understeer and bring the car closer to neutral.
Thx for your inputs. So you are saying that the load rating is actually 4x the lowest load rating instead of the sum of them all.
No not 4x but a sum total. This is why the MYP has a higher load rating but as I wrote above it doesn't matter as they are the same cars. The increased load rating is from the wider rear tire. And again it won't matter in a squared setup cuz you'd be running a tire size similar to the rear of 275 or wider.
Is there a reason why you are suggesting 275s with the 9.5? So there is more tires around the 9.5s
Read my posts above. You do not want to use 10.5 rears all around, the offset puts the wheel too close to the upper front knuckles so the only wide tire that will fit are 275/35, ie the rear tires. And if you google it, the ideal tire width for a 9.5 in wide rim is 275mm. However a 275 on 10.5 is already very stretched so it's like two steps forward and one back cuz you haven't fixed the overly stretched stock setup. And you cannot go narrower on tires so you are stuck with 275/35 all stop.
Merry Christmas!
| Rim width | Minimum tire width | Ideal tire width | Maximum tire width |
|---|---|---|---|
| 7.5 Inches | 205 mm | 215 or 225 mm | 235 mm |
| 8.0 Inches | 215 mm | 225 or 235 mm | 245 mm |
| 8.5 Inches | 225 mm | 235 or 245 mm | 255 mm |
| 9.0 Inches | 235 mm | 245 or 255 mm | 265 mm |
| 9.5 Inches | 245 mm | 255 or 265 mm | 275 mm |
| 10.0 Inches | 255 mm | 265 or 275 mm | 285 mm |
| 10.5 Inches | 265 mm | 275 or 285 mm | 295 mm |
I thought MYP wheel widths were 9.5 / 10.5.
Also if in SD I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend JBA speed shop - they have a touchless shop and they were a lot cheaper than discount tire.
Yes, that is correct for MYP using 9.5" and 10.5" wheels. It would of been better if they used 9" and 10" instead.
Nice. You can then in your off time have them 275s unmounted and ready for you're ready to swap them on. Also you can run a 5mm spacer in the rear, there's enough thread for up to 8mm spacer iirc. That will bring the rear wheel to be closer to stock spacing. You can also optionally run a bolt on spacer for more etc etc.
So far I am okay with the way it looks so probably won't be doing that soon - may be when I notice the difference.
Curious if you’ve actually saw issues running 10.5’s on the front w/ a 275?
Yes, others have run 275 on 10.5s. 275/35 stock size fits with tight turning clearance. 275/40 on 10.5 rubs no matter what. There is roughly 3.8% height difference between the two sizes. You may be able to run 285/35, though maybe not as it's going to be tight width wise as the offset puts the wheels inner edge closer to the knuckle.
I guess I am confused. So the rear stock 10.5 (ubertines) on MYP are 275/35, which are safe up front? Where does the 275/40 come from then? Thanks for the help
