305s rear tires

[Daryl152]

HI

I'm planning on doing a staggered set up and I'm lowered on eibach lowering springs. About an 1 inch drop. I want to do 20s with 305s. What do you all suggest? I want to prevent rubbing. Thanks

If you desire a 305 rear, then a 10 or 11" rear will do best with proper offsets and proper camber adjustment.

You wont rub even with 315's... Ive Been running 305's for a while never rubbed in any situation!

It just comes down to the proper wheel application.

Hey Brother,
Are you trying to do 305's all around or just the rear?
On a 20x10 / 20x11 set up, we normally run a 275/35-20 up front and 315/35-20 on the rear. We have used the Mickey Thompson 275/35-20 / 305/35-20 set up with absolutely no rubbing issues. This was with 20x10 +35 & 20x11 +50.

I'm doing 275/35-20 or 255 front and 305s in the rear hoping lol. Even lowered it should be no issues right?

Keep an eye on the stagger amount. Too much rear and not enough front may give you more understeer than you might like.
Also, your larger OD rear is gonna reduce your acceleration a little also.
Just saying

The sizes have been confirmed to work brotha, it really just comes down to the wheel. The reason is the offset the lower the offset on the wheel and with your drop the more camber adjustment is needed.

That's why I always ask what wheel is being used, In your case I know exactly the wheel and from experience of doing the setup the recommendation provided reduces the large camber adjustment needed.

I have 275/35/20 and 315/35/20 (Conti DW) on mine and there's no rubbing. [MENTION=27078]Paul@PKAUTODESIGN[/MENTION] is correct, if you have a wheel with the correct offsets with the right tires, you can take advantage of the widest tire on these wheels.

[MENTION=11685]Need4SpeedMotors[/MENTION] has their Project 6GR wheels which Paul was able to help me out with when he used to work for them. Both of them are great vendors who really know what they're talking about.

Fits like butter also.

20x9 ET 32 and 20x10.5 ET 45 if you want to know the offsets and M/T Street comp tires.

275/35-20 and 305/35-20

Does the new 305 rear size throw off the speed reading?

 

[wildcatgoal]

Yes, but negligible.
