Tire help

[Peon]

So I recently found a bubble in the sidewall of my stock p zeros, not a single idea how it got there because I avoid potholes and the like pretty aggressive. I have hated these tires since I got the car but since I only have 9k miles I never made the move to get new ones. Luckily, I have been looking up replacement tires for a while and I choose to go with michelin pilot sport 4s. I am fairly new to modding cars and I just wanted to get some guidance on sizing. My current car only has a corsa sport cat back, so it is basically stock. I have done some research and judging by how I like to drive the car, going through the twisties, I was thinking of going with a square setup. I was thinking of going with 285's all around. Does anyone have any recommendations of has anyone run into any problems with that set up? In case it needs to be said, I have the stock PP wheels.

TLDR: I wanna get michelin pilot sport 4s on my 2017 gt pp and want to make sure I am not going to fuck anything up going with 285's all around. Recommendations appreciated, however, I have already decided to stick with the michelin pilot sport 4s. Just not sure on sizing.

Thanks for the pictures, those look nice. Would I have any issues with the stock wheels being different in size? (19x9,19x9,5)

Yeah the 285/35R19 is too wide for a 9" wheel according to Bridgestone. (9.5" minimum wheel width)

You could run a 275/40R19 on all four corners tho

Would running 285s or 275s on all four wheels be dumb since the wheels themselves are not the same size? I was looking at the sve 350r wheels and i could just go 19x10 and get the 285 set up. I just really like the way the stock wheels look. I am also kinda against spacers so I would have to make sure I dont need those. Thanks again for all the help

Thanks for the suggestions and help so far. After reading up on a few other threads I am going to stick with a staggered set up with the stock PP wheels and get a set of 275 front and 285 rears. I decided to wait to get a square setup until I find a set of wheels that a love. Now I just have to decide on the side wall >.<

According to TireRack the 285’s would be to big for the front. A 275 looks like it would work on both ends. Not sure how it would look on a 9” wheel.

Yea, I looked at a bunch of other posts and it was saying that 275 is the max for the fronts. I actually ended up ordering 275s for all 4 bc the 285s wouldn’t ship till 7/6. Tirerack did actually stop the order and make me confirm that the 275s would fit up front.

When I say stopped, the wouldn’t release the order till they spoke with me on the phone to confirm for fitment
