Tire Talk - MX wheels + 295 rear?

[SilverGS]

From the pictures
295 should not rub on 20x9.5
Your car doesn’t seem that low

But it will poke out past the fenders as you mentioned before, so just stick to 285? The picture below is not mine and the owner installed 275 on those. That's why I was thinking perhaps 285 will be safer to install as the 275 already seem to be reaching the edge of the rim.

If the picture was 275/35/20
295/30/20 should fit
What’s your 20x9.5 offset?

They are 20x9.5"+35

They should fit fine

I had 305/25/22 with the same offset and it doesn’t rub

So 295/30 on the rears should fit fine on those 9.5 rims and it won't stick out too much on the face of the rim or go past the fender.

But u have to run 255/35/20 in fronts to match the same rolling dusmeter as the rears

245/40/20 is .5 inches taller

Thanks! I'm assuming the 255's only rub on full lock turn in reverse?

 

[colindo1990]

255/35/20 overall diameter is 27 inches compared to 27.7 inches 245/40/20
No rubbing on reverse or full lock turns

Thanks! Its settled then. 255/35 front and 295/30 rear

I found some tires in these sizes (only All season and not ZR rated) on TireRack. Need to pick a set now.....

S-04 is a good tire

Does it matter if it has different rolling diameter?
Dual motors won't make a difference - since when MS run 21" Turbines - they have different diameters

 

[colindo1990]

not really
when you put on your new sensors, calibrated for 19" wheels and tires

Apologies for beating this to death, but when you use a Calculator such as this one - Tire Size Calculator and key in the sizes, the 295 width tire is recommended to be on at least a 10 inch tire. My MX rear wheel is a 9.5 inch tire. The last thing I want is to compromise my safety with a tire that is too wide for the rim which I would imagine will cause the mid section of the tire to "bulge" out a tad more and not be 100% flat on the road.
