33 front and 38 rear offset tire help
33f 38r offsets can i fit a 285/30 in the back? i like the idea of a 285 but i dont like the idea of a 25 series tire. i also notice alot of companys are makin 285/30/20. im gonna run a 245/35/20 front.
any input on the rears thanks.
tires will be the new P-zero or maybe the KDWs not sure yet. depends how cheep i feel when ordering.

E55
Those tires are a bit tall,no? IMO,they might rub on the outside on the fronts and rub on the inside on the rears.....but who knows.You dont want 30' in the front and 25's in the rear?

I have a 285/30/20 Pirelli Pzero Rosso on the rear of my E and it rubs a little on the outside of the tire. My car is also lowered about an inch and a half. I haven't tried a 245/35/20, have tried a 255/35/20 and it rubbed really bad.

I'm not as worried with the offsets as I am how tall you are going with the setup. What driving will you do? I can tell you that going taller will exagerate ESP inputs and it will kick in much sooner. As long as you just plan to roll and look good, then no worries. If you wanna be able to romp on it, I'd reconsider 20s. I haven't seen an E55 with 20s that had decent acceleration feel.
Good luck with what you try.

1 - What would that 11.7 be with DRs mounted on my 18" HREs?
2 - The change is more dramatic when going from 19s to 20s.
Keep in mind that the effect of the radius of weight from the center is squared. Also, you are now getting so far away from OEM diameter that gearing will be affected (for the worse on the dig).
Good Luck proving me wrong. i love the envelope pushing going on lately with these rides.

I'm running a 245/30/20 Pirelli Pzero Nero. There is no rim protection either with this tire setup. Rubbing in the back is only when I hit a large dip in the road or going up hill where the rear leans back. It's not that bad, but you can hear it. I have to mention, that my rear is lowered to the point where my fender literally sits on the tire.
