Looking to change tire sizes.

[smokescreens]

When i bought my 2018 pp1 i had to buy tires to get it home. Long story short flew out to get the car 1,600 miles away and that morning it dumped 16" of snow on the ground so i needed some all seasons to get her home (all season conti extremes were awesome in the snow)

So when i got home and ordered my p51 wheels in 19x10 and 19x11 i tried to cheap out and move the original rear 275 ps4s tires up front and got 295/35/19 for the rear. Im not happy with the look or fit of those tires. The 275's are way taller than the 295's in the back and the 295's in the back look stretched on the 11" rim. I also think the 275's in front might be rubbing the wheel well liner in a full turn if i hit a bump.

Im thinking about putting the 295's on the front 10" rims and getting 325's for the rears. Then sell the 275's for peanuts.

What does the peanut gallery here think on the tire combo of 325's and the 295's?

how about put up some pics of the current setup. Why do you think 295s on an 11" rim looks stretched?


Edit: after seeing the pics you added I see what you mean about the front tires. Are those both w/ 35 ratio?

I’d do 315s and your 295s. 305/285 would be a more square shouldered fit to those wheel widths, but you’ll be fine.

295 on the fronts might rub and require a 5mm spacer. I guess you’ll find out.

I run 305s up front on 10.5 wheels without any problems. So I don’t understand why you are having problems with 295s. I have run 325 35 20 in back before and they fix but not on 10” wheels. Right now I run 305 35 20 square

The 295's are on the back wheels. I have the original rear 275's on the front but they are tall and my car is lower than stock.

What i want to do is take the 295's off the rear wheels and put them in the front. Then get 315's or 325's on the rear.

305/30 10.5 front 305/35 11.0 rear 19'' wheels

Just for grins

I fat-fingered the sizes, they are 305/30 10.5 front & 305/35 11.0 rear 19'' wheels

Sorry

I think those 275s up front look great.

Why not stick with those and pick up some 305s or 315s for the rears?

I've got 10 in the front and 11 in the rear and the 275/305 Combo works great.

You never specified the aspect ratio of the 275s. Are they 30 or 35? That would factor in to what profile you want in the rear. I have 35 on both so the rears are a little taller on mine.

They are 275/40/r19 the original rear tires on my pp1. They tower over the sidewall on the rear tires. I was going to just deal with it until it was time to replace them but i think they are rubbing with a full lock turn if i hit a bump. So its not the fact of the width its the potential its rubbing. I finally have the weekend off so im going to look at it today. Been working 14 hour days every day for a while.

Haha no worries. Those are pilot sports? They dont seam to make 305/35/r19 in the pilot sport4s

Good to know tks, they are Cup2s

So after looking at my front tires i can confirm they are rubbing on the inside of the wheel well liner. I have mag ride and i dont know if the means i have less room from the liner due to more wires or not but i ordered some 5mm wheel spacers to see if that clears it up.
