How would you have done with stock suspension? No-go? I LOVE the look of the 265/305, but.. Not planning on going to KWs at this point.

I'm going to say its a no-go...
This was over 2 months ago on KWs. Spring perch cut up the inner sidewall.
Clearance is tight on the KWs, id imagine it would rub on stock suspension as well...
No problem after raising the spring perch.

That looks freaking sweet!
Great choice.

Thank you! Took some trail and error to get it right... but it was all worth it

Ouch - and thanks! Sounds like 255/295 is widest setup for OEM, and that lets one re-use stock rear tires..

+33 front +48 rear
No problem with the rears.
Here's a photo on the front clearance after switching to shorter springs. Tight fit...View attachment 28659

Get looking setup Do you know what length and spring rate you went with?

Yeah, I went with Swift Z70-178-060.

Thanks bud!

Can I ask how close the wheel was to the coilover? I live in Pot-hole-ville MIchigan and want to go with a square 18x9 setup on 255/45. Worried about the wheel to strut clearance. An 18 would be 1/2 closer than yours. What do you think? Go or No Go?

 

[Protagonist]

Wanted add that your setup looks amazing, and if you have a full on 'from the back' pic I'm sure folks would love to see it.

Not sure if this was asked, can you get any close measurements or pics of front and rear clearance? I’m only a couple of mm off your offsets and curious if I can get the same fitment

I apologize, I have begun to part out my Stinger. Wheels were removed a few weeks back and placed in storage. The suspension will be removed this weekend.

This is the only photo I have for the front clearance. Tight fit.

LOL this has to be the most clever tire thread title of all team!

Well done sir, well done!

First one i have seen with wider tires than myself , have 19x9.5 fronts and 10.5 rears 255/295 tire setup +30 and +45 offsets , front tires clears strut by just barely clearing a credit card between them.

 

[XGC75]

Thanks for posting. Considering a 19x9et34 wheel up front. Probably going to clear the struts with 255/35

Edit: yup, at 19x9.5et30 you should have 163mm backspacing and a 19x9et34 would have 161mm. So I'll be 2mm further from the struts as you, which should cover wheel-to-wheel differences. Rim & Tire Size Calculator. Custom Offsets

 

[turboAWD]

Don't forget tire width variances. Some tires are 5mm+ wider than others at the same size.

I remember being disappointed at the 235 original PSS for being the same width as the stock 225 Perelli's
