First post, So hello all.
I've been on forum awhile and reading. Lot's of post about tire size. I just installed Michelin, Pilot Sport PS2 305/30/19 rear & 265/35/19 up front.
Everything fits. The maximum flange shields / "Rim / sidewall protector" on the 305/30/19 are exactly the same size as the 285/30/19 A/S 3+ that came off.
Wish car was cleaner for the pic's :/
Installed and ready for test drive. 305/30 drivers side 285/30 passenger. Test on ground. Maximum Flange Shields "Rim / sidewall protector" Installed Front 265/35/19 Installed rear 305/30/19 Maximum Flange Shields "Rim / sidewall protector"
265/35 on 9" wheel is not a problem, but 305/30 on 9.5" wheel? This must be the world's first such install, "normal" minimum width for 305/30 is 10.5".
I have been contemplating running 265/30/19s and 305/30/20s for my SL63, i think i am going to go that route. Just not a big fan of the stretched tire wall look
SGTzAMG my track tires are 255/295. On the street the 265/305
I get a little rub on the inside wheelwell on the track with the 305's
Other than that the 265/305 setup is great on the street.
Thank you so much for the inputs!
I am hoping 305/30/20 will fit fine for the rears of my SL63. They are the 20x10 cross spoke from 2017 SL63, but now with ET28 offset on my car. Hopefully no rubbing in the insie wheel well
