Question about tire width for M350 wheels

[Dragster]

Hey everyone! I will likely be picking up some M350 wheels once my stock Pirellis are ready to be replaced (car is a GT PP). I will likely be putting Michelin Pilot Super Sports on them, and I would like to do a staggered setup. My question is this: what is the "ideal" tire width to go with on a staggered setup for the best handling? I was thinking of going with a 285/305 setup. The car is not a daily driver--just for fun drives and a couple HPDEs a year. Thanks in advance for the help!

You have a few choices but the popular options that we have recommended and done is

285/35/19 & 305/35/19

or

285/35/19 & 325/30/19

I ordered 285/35 and 305/35 MPSS through Discoint Tire. Install scheduled for Monday morning, so I'll know how it works out then.

Rear 315 35 19 19x11 wheel 27.7" tall same as stock pp

You can yes, but the issue is finding a matching pair front and back there is only a full Hoosier slick.

So 99% of members that do this use a 285/325 tire combo as there are a good amount of options for this application.

Though the 35 series isn't 'required', I wouldn't run the 275/40 all around. Too tall IMO, especially for the front.

I would go 275/35 all around or 275/35 front and 305/35 rear. I'm running 20x10's with 275/35 front and 305/35 rears. I love it.

275/40s are stock on gtpp. the only question is whether id run into any issues running that on fronts. read other threads that squared 275/40s is just fine. also i kinda need the extra sidewall. potholes where i live are insane.

It completely slipped my mind that you guys are talking about 19" wheels... I was thinking about the 275/40 on a 20" wheel lol!

You can easily run a 275/40 all around without issues I have done it many times.
