wixy New Member 18 Member For: 10y 2m 18d Posted 18/04/17 01:50 AM Author Posted 18/04/17 01:50 AM Thanks. Can I fit 275/35's to the rear? This is significantly cheaper than 275/30.

Larger OD tyre means you will be actually traveling faster that the speedo reads. Just use a gps and to gauge the difference and then mentally adjust what tyres are you fitting ?

Any advantage/disadvantage to running 245/40 front and 275/35 rear (instead of stock 245/35 and 275/30)? This should give a bit more ride comfort than stock due to thicker rubber?

What do people think of these TSW's? 19x8 front (+35 offset) and 19x9 rear (+32 offset). What is the standard FG offset?
