peteman35 Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Sounds fat Needs a 245 up front to match the rear, 235 is a bit stretchy on a 8.5j Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
370Ad Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Speedo will be out by 2.7% which isn't major just an FYI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren-B Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Looking forward to the pics Bob When I changed my fronts from 245/35/19 to 245/40/19 the t/c flashed a few times on the M-way @ speed then sorted itself out. Guessing it recalibrated for the difference in wheel speed. It does it everytime I switch between the stock rays & Nismos now. But after the first mile it always drives fine.

M13KYF Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 didnt Shire run some and found them too gripy. Car kept bogging down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleR Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 There's normally a 2.73% front to rear difference as stock, I run 3.21% with 0 problems with "stock" 19" sizes and with your new set up there will be a 2.01% difference. So, i'd say it would be ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT4 Zed Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 I have run 295/30/19 MPS on my zed from almost when I bought it and never had a TC issue. Word of caution: -Depending on your wheel ET, camber. or ride height it will rub!! So requiring arch rolling. - for a DD that's too much tyres and will negatively impact acceleration even though grip will increase but its not needed. - you will experience more tram lining. - the car will be almost undrivable in winter. -I did tell shire all this when he bought the 295 from me - go with 275 and you have the optimum tyre for the zed as a DD. Having FI is a different matter and more tyre is better for traction and you have the power to overcome it. Out of interest how much did you get the tyres for? I have a network of guys I get very good deals myself for the last 5years as I exclusively use only Michelins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
