Any problems with this setup?

[bbwarrior32]

Hey guys! First id like to mention that I have no idea what im talking about when it comes to tires and rims and offsets and blah blah blah :frusty: ! ANYWAYS, I have burnt through my P-Zeros and its time for me to upgrade tires. I have a Performance Pack car and im going to keep the stock rims but was wanting to bump up tire size. Would it be any problem to bump to a 265/285 30ZR19 Nitto Invo setup? Also i would be looking to drop the car on Steeda Sport Springs during the install and was wondering if that would conflict with the new tires.

And lastly! Would you guys recommend getting 1 inch spacers all around? Thanks!

Those tires are a good bit shorter than stock.

Nearly 2" shorter than stock. Those sizes should be 35's instead of 30's

The Invos do have a 35 option with the 285 but the 265's are only in 30, can i mix and match like that?

Iffy at best.

I suspect that there would be too much difference in the diameter (revs/mile, actually) for the ABS and what-not to ignore. ±3% difference is a safe guideline, and 285/35 vs 265/30 is more than double that.


On edit, there's a side note here that's probably even more important than the above, and that's the matter of the 265/30-19 being too small of a tire for the car's weight and would end up being run in an overloaded condition. Don't do that.

Thanks Norm! After I posted I spent the rest of my night looking at other threads and what other people were running and have decided to just replace my two rears and wait to get a set of rims!
