2008 MB CL600. 2020 MB E300 de. 1987 BMW M535i.
My 285/25-20 are to thin.
At least 295/25-20 to get them as high as my 245/30-20 in front.
And strangly enough, there are some differencies between 285 and 285, depending on what brand the tire have...
I can't get that!

Totally forgot to tell you the width of my rims. 9" front, and 10" rear.
And since you have 11", 305 sounds ideal.
But as I said, there are some differencies in width depending on tire brand...

You can easily run 275 up front, and 305 rear. Those tires would match the rims perfectly.
The 275 gives a better grip, when cornering, and braking.
Its true that tires differ in actual with from brand to brand, i noticed that my self, so what i recomend is Conti Sport Contact 3. They have a smooth ride, good grip, and are not square when its cold.
They handle my 654 hp. very well.

[quote=rbtronnie5;2482303]weird....you learn something new everyday. i wonder why no one else runs 275 up front and 255 has been the standard? your car doesn't rub because it is lowered?[/quote]
