Exclamation 285 35 20 on f11?

Hi all,

I don't seem to be able to find any info reg using 285 35 20 at the back on f11's.

I am currently on 30 profile pss but the ride is a bit too harsh for me.
I still have some room in the arch but keeping in mind 10.5j rim et35 I don't want any rubbing.
I am thinking of putting ps4s all around.

anyone has any experience with the above?

few pics of the wheel arch with 30 profile.

Thanks,

LK

I think you will definatly risk rubbing!

This because you try to combine oversized tire diameter, wide wheels and aggressive offset. You could have two of those and avoid rubbing but probably not three.

The setup in the photo below is 255/40-20 with 8.5x20" ET22 on my F11. The rear is a tight fit but no rubbing (1/10" of clearance).

That setup is equvivalent to 9.5x20" ET37 with 285/35-20 (or 10x20" ET42 with 295/35-20).

But your setup would be with 2mm more aggressive offset and 1" wider wheels!

This is how the higher profile tire looks on the wheel!

Thanks buddy, you were right. Tried it on, no go. Maybe if I'd go for 275 but don't want the stretched look.
