I have 2- 315/30-R20 for the rear
And 2-305/30-R20 for the front.

Brand new and laying around the house. Am I crazy?

What do we think is the widest tire that fits the front without rubbing?

I believe Ronin has 275's in the front. Someone else here has 305's in the rear.

Sounds good. I guess I'll put the 305 on the rear and try to find an appropriately sized front

I run 285/30/20 front and tried 305/30/20 rear on the stock rims but since I couldn't find a set of 11" rims for the rear I went back to 295/30/20 tires.
15mm spacers front, 12mm spacers rear..

I could feel the 305 on the stock 10" rims squirm around in the corners since they should be on 11" rims....sad

You will need at least 10.5” wide wheel for front . Second, you will probably find it hard to make turns and steer probably

Just on tyres, I know the ride is on the firm side. Is it possible to increase the profile of the tyres, say from 30/35 to 35/40? Would that make much of a difference if you could?

My wagon rides perfectly on 285/30/20 and 295/30/20 and to be honest it is better with the 285 up front..

Take advice from people that do things..

I appreciate the input Ron in. Are you on OEM wheels? I am really looking for something that will work if I want to go do a track day. Does anyone here do any HPDE regularly?

Are you running spacers? Not a fan of the idea. Maybe with wheel studs...

Wow, surprised that 285's fit up front, even with spacers! With 30's all around, is the ride any different? I think after I burn the fronts, I'll try 275/35's.

No problem at all with the 285 fitment at all on the stock 9.5" front rims. I burnt through the 265 stockers in 5,500 mi.

Do you run a longer wheel bolt with the spacers or did you convert to a wheel stud and lug nut?

Spacers just need a longer bolt---- which usually comes with the kit.

Im not sure who has done that here (I think no one ever since ive been here) but having done over 10 sets of spacers with my cars; hubcentric fitment is all that matters. Even Porsche dialed out hubcentric spacers from the factory.

Personally I would never add that much hardware to the cars Ive owned and I dont know anyone at the Porsche, Audi, BMW, or other forums I frequent. If its ever done its usually to change a bolt pattern to adopt a unique wheel but the quality of materials these days are great with spacers alone.

I spacers on 3 of my cars now and have custom wheels on my AMG and centelocks on the Porsche.
