Load rating doesn't matter because yea, you'd be using the larger higher load index tires anyways.

Iirc 285s are tight in front and rear ppl have stuffed 295/305 in the rear. However I'm not sure with a rear rim on the front. You could go 285/35 f+r, which still gives you a decent selection of tires whilst moving you closer to ideal and more curb protection. I'd check the front knuckle clearance to be sure.@thesmokingman - agree with all your points. i dont mind the idea of 9.5 all around since i rarely have anyone / thing in the back -- except too late to go back to the guy who has my 9.5s lol
It's hilarious... I couldn't find the pic using the search engine here and had to resort to le google. As the tire gets taller you can run into the the upper a-arm joint, aka knuckle. Rubbing from width isn't so much an issue with the upright, big piece that connects to the a-arm. And then with your rim width and offset which places the wheel further outward, you might run into clearance issues with the fender liner under full lock. That said the fender liner isn't a big deal, can reform it with a heat gun and its only under full lock so as long as you're not doing donuts there's minimal concern.what do you mean by front knuckle clearance? sorry i googled but got into more technical cases than i think you're referring to?
Yep too tall. Was hitting the knuckle. Install last night was after dark. We’re switching back this am so maybe with light I can get a pic. Will update if possible to grab a pic@tainy22 first, thank you for pushing the boundary and trying it out...bummed that it didn't work out for you. i am assuming they are rubbing cuz they are too tall?
@thesmokingman as you suggested before, do you think the 285/35s would still work for @tainy22? they are slightly taller than the 275/35s, but much shorter than the 275/40s. however, I'm still a bit confused, because how does the tire size change when on the 9.5 vs 10.5? whether a 275/40 is on a 9.5 or 10.5 its the same size tire, right? i would think the 10.5 would stretch it a bit more and make it shorter than on a 9.5. just wondering since there have been a lot of reports of the 275/40s on 9.5s with no rubbing on the MYP...but not sure if that is because of the suspension differences between the MYP and MYLR.
It's the offset on top of the inch wider rim, it's putting the inner edge of the rim that much closer to the knuckle. You can visualize it somewhat using using a wheel-offset-calculator or gis'ing backspacing. I don't know if 285's will work because the knuckle clearance would be an obvious limit, thus check that...@tainy22 first, thank you for pushing the boundary and trying it out...bummed that it didn't work out for you. i am assuming they are rubbing cuz they are too tall?

Keep us posted if the 40’s for without the running. I saw the Michelin Cross climate 2 in 275/40/21 & 255/40/21 with load rating of 102w on their website. These would be perfect for non track guys like me.I've seen some other threads where MYP owners are running 275/40/r21 on fronts and 295/40/r21 on rears. When i get new tires I am hoping 275/40 would work (i.e. no rubbing) since it will provide a bigger sidewall. I did see one thread where a MYLR owner said there was rubbing with 265/40/r21, but all the MYP owners running 275/40/r21 dont have any issues. I thought the MYLR would have more clearance, but idk. Im sure you already checked out the following link..https://tiresize.com/calculator....but helps understand the odometer errors as well. Since it is an originally staggered setup, not sure how the speedometer would change with a squared set. Looking forward to hearing any additional experience with a squared r21 set up on MYLR.

Yes it can, I may be a little taller. The optimal wheel for the rear rim is 295/35/21 the 295 size won’t look stretched and will give better rim protection.Sorry to bump this, but would 285/35/21 work to better fit than 275 with the stretched look?
Forgot that you replied to this! When it comes time for you to replace your tires, what are you going with? Would it make sense to go 295/35/21 all around for a square setup on all rears?Yes it can, I may be a little taller.

I’ve thought about it, but I’m replacing the Uberturbines for a while 19 or 20 inch Titan 7 forged square set up since I use my MYP for my commuter car. Love the look of the Uberturbines, but these are way too heavy for any efficient use. 255/45/19 for a rim size of 19x8:5 or 265/40/20 for a 20x9 inch rim.Forgot that you replied to this!
