285/35 fr 325/30 rr, hows the handling on a daily driver?

[madsedan]

I had originally planned on 19x10 with 285/35 all around but got a deal on 19x10/11 and pulled the trigger. 285/35 and 305/35 would be ideal but the 305/35 is a hard size to find. I see allot of people just running a 325/30 in the rear, tires looks to fit fin on the 19x11 but I'd like to know if the car gets too much understeer with such a disparity between the front and rear. In the Firehawks I'd likely buy its almost another 1.5" of tread in the rear.

This is exactly what I am running now. Project 6GR wheels 10/11" 285/35/19s fronts Rears are 325/30/19s and fucking love this setup. I am pulling them but not selling and going to try some 18' wheels on all 4 corners. Called APEX 3 times with no luck waited on hold every time then went to VM WTF!! So I called Need4Speed and they answered immediately and are sending me 18" wheel selection here in a bit.

Black Dog, do you have any pictures?

I'm looking at the 350 style 19x10/11 with a 325 rear...

All good so far guys, the 325/30 just clears the rear shock on the inside and looks about right compared to the 285/35 up front when mounted on 19x11 wheels in the rear. Plenty of stick and so far no adverse handling reactions but I haven't pushed it hard yet. Looking for understeer at the limit but haven't found it lol

I'm running FIREHAWK INDY 500 245/40/R19 fronts, 325/30/R19 rears (stock was 235/50/R18). Lil different setup then yours but wow the handling now! Incredible! No push through the corners at all!

Just got a set of Indy 500's put on mine too.

285/35/19 front
325/30/19 rear

Simply an awesome tire for NA levels.

Much more confidence in the corner. I haven't pushed it too hard, but all my corners and cloverleaf sections on the route to work, I now take a good 20-30km/hr faster and it feels more planted than before when I had the stock 16PP p-zero junk.

I've run 285's up front for a while now and have tried both the 305's and the 325's in the back.

Those 325's stick!! It's almost hard to break those tires loose.

Next go around up front, I want to go down a size to 275's as a lot of roads around here have bad ruts and the 285's tramline pretty bad.

I have been running those exact specs in Pilot Sport 4s since last November and the only issue I have had was I snapped a rear axle when I dumped the clutch with 4 people in my car. I drive the car hella hard and only understeer in one location when pushing it real hard but I think it's mostly due to the road not my tires. Here is an album of a photoshoot of my GT and a Friends S2000

What kind of offsets are you running on your rear wheels? Will a 19x11 ET50 poke out a lot with a 325 on it?

That looks awesome! Do you happen to have a better shot of the fitment on the rear? Does it stick out a lot?

It’s pretty damn flush. This is all I have at the moment.
