Stonkin Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 I would have gone for the Goodyears but if you have already fitted Toyos to the front get 285 Toyos for the rear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra steveo Posted July 27, 2010 Author Share Posted July 27, 2010 (edited) well that was the plan just dont know if its worth the extra £60 for the tyres, when i know there are F1 GSD3s and conti contact sport 3s for £30 less per tyre Edited July 27, 2010 by supra steveo (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luxluc Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 As said, I would go with the same brand front and rear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stonkin Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Even with the 285's you may need your arches shaving depending on wheel specs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra steveo Posted July 27, 2010 Author Share Posted July 27, 2010 the offset on the rears is 44 if that helps ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aman00123 Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 295 is a bit big really mate Rim width---Min tyre width---Ideal tyre width----Max tyre width 7.0 inches-----195 mm--------205 or 215 mm-----------225 mm 7.5 inches-----205 mm--------215 or 225 mm-----------235 mm 8.0 inches-----215 mm--------225 or 235 mm-----------245 mm 8.5 inches-----225 mm--------235 or 245 mm-----------255 mm 9,0 inches-----235 mm--------245 or 255 mm-----------265 mm 9.5 inches-----245 mm--------255 or 265 mm-----------275 mm 10.0 inches----255 mm--------265 or 275 mm-----------285 mm 10.5 inches----265 mm--------275 or 285 mm-----------295 mm 11.0 inches----275 mm--------285 or 295 mm-----------305 mm 11.5 inches----285 mm--------295 or 305 mm-----------315 mm 12.0 inches----295 mm--------305 or 315 mm-----------325 mm 12.5 inches----305 mm--------315 or 325 mm-----------335 mm Stolen from Dnk, thanks bud But I wouldn't worry about different brands front and rear, I've just put Vredstein's on the front and Michelin PS2's on the rear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonkin Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 No idea mate, was just preparing you If you do need them doing i would advise to get the inner lip shaved as opposed to rolled as it will not damage the paint. The lip is quite big so plenty can come off, just dont take it to far as i believe there are spot welds along it which you will not want to break.

aman00123 Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Found Falken's in 275-35-18 for £123 mate, they wouldn't rub on the rear either, as I had 275's on my 11.5" rims previous to my new ones (they were a 54 offset though) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra steveo Posted July 27, 2010 Author Share Posted July 27, 2010 (edited) cancel just seen the offset lol I am thinking the should be ok will just have to take it to the garage that i know has a mini grinder as well as a tyre machine Edited July 27, 2010 by supra steveo (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
