Thanks.  Can I fit 275/35's to the rear? This is significantly cheaper than 275/30.

Yep.  But use 245/40 front. 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 ?

Why do you say to use 245/40 front? 35 front and rear matches the original factory tyres so speedo shouldn't change?

 

I am fitting re003's or pilot sports.

The profile is a percentage of tyre width, rears are wider so the 275/35 is a similar diameter to the 245/40.

Thanks guys. 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?

Also, for a complete change of direction, I'm now fancying bronze wheels on a white FG.

 

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