confusion!! tires for factory wheels?

chross12 · 03-30-2018, 07:46 AM

i have a 2016 factory wheel and tire set up currently. I have had one suggestion from the forum. I really need to get new ones. I need as big in the back as possible without rubbing. The front I have no idea. any suggestion would be much appreciated.

8.5" front- max I would do is 255/40/20
9.5" rear- max 285/35/20

I understand there are slight variations of this but this is what I'm comfortable with. Hope this helps

CruzySS thanks for the response. I want 305 or 315 on the back so bad. The issue i am facing is a whipple supercharger that i bolted on.... Now i am trying to get the car to hook as they. I am not an autocross guy. I just think it would be cool to press the gas pedal to the floor and the tires not go up in smoke. i heard the pilot sport 4 are the best tire out there now? I also heard of the toyo r888??? mY HEADS SPINNING ABOUT ALL THESE NUMBERS...

305's will fit in the back btw on the stock wheels.

Toyo R888R in 285/35/20 would probably be a good fit. Also the Michelin PS4 in the same size

I meant to put a few spaces in between the video and my comment.

if stock wheels would support a 305 size tire. what would the next number be 30 or 35? and lastly what manufacturer. Michelin ps4 tire or a mickey Thompson type street/strip tire

i have been limping mine around for the past few days not sure what to buy?

If you got that Whipple pushing that much power, go with the R888R in 255/35/20 and 285/35/20. Like the guy said above.

R888 ordered from tire rack $1556.00. 255&285!!
I’m so excited to get tires it’s ridiculous. Now I need to look at buying a set of drag wheels and tires. Any suggestions?
