20" foundry wheels, tire sizes

[moubayed]

Hello folks,

i currently have the stock pirelli`s on my GT, since they suck, i felt like changing them to a different tire setup. While im at it, i might as well think about bumping the size of the tires upwards.
The Problem with this is just that i dont have a clue as to the benefit of bigger tires, in my mind it should leed to an improved traction, but this is just my way of thinking.
Since most of you already have tried out different sizes, i wanted to ask your advice in this matter.
My current Setup is: 265/35/20 Pirelli on all four wheels and with 20" foundry wheels (i know they are heavy, but i love the look!)
Now regarding my questions:
1. Is it advisable to do a different setup front to back? Like 265 in the front and 285 or similar in the back? And what would the benefit be?
2. How big should one go? 285/35 or more?
3. How does the steering and the traction differ with bigger tires? especially in the corners?

If you happen to have 20" foundry wheels with bigger tires, i would love to see your look! Please post pics and tell me about your experience with this!

thanks a lot!

The widest I say is a 275/35/20 and keep it the same size all around on these.

Hey Paul, thanks for the advise. Ill probably look into the Continentals then, 275 is easier to purchase here in the EU anyways

I'll probably be going cont dw 275 all around on my foundry's. I got the dws on my pp wheels and love them. I also love the look of foundry's! The only after market wheel I like better is the vs-08 paul posted a little back.

Send me a pm when you get a chance for a set of vs-08 20's sqaured with cont dw. I plan on dropping the car on eibach pro kit. I don't want any poke front or rear. Just a slight tuck to flush fit would be perfect. Let me know what tire size, rim size and off set I would need. Also if you got a pic of them on a s550 I'd like to see it. Thanks Brotha!
