335/30-20 Michelin PS2 and LOWERED?

[Chipster]

I have the 335/30-20 and 275/35-19 Michelin PS2 and I'm thinking about lowering but it's already a tight fit due to how tall the rear tires are. Does anyone run this tire combo with also being lowered (especially Eibachs)?? Feedback would be appreciated.

 

[Mopar Boy]

My guess, is it will not work so well! I have spent the last 2 weeks reading and speaking with everyone regarding this! As it is the rears can rub with stock height, lowering will not help this issue!

Just my 2 cents. Curious as well what the other responses will be.

NOT!!!!!!!!!

If you're rubbing on a stock ride height with 20's, it's time for new shocks. OR you've got a setting that goes *boing *boing...

 

[Chipster]

It's not 20's in general. the 335/30-20 PS2's are much taller than the 345/25-20 Nitto Invo's or Pirelli's. I'm considering switching to the Nittos' but I was curious if I could do the springs before hand while I still have tread left on the PS2's or wait til I do the Nittos

Yea, what he said

Just do eibach springs and forget the caps. You'll close the wheel gap and with a stiffer setting the rear Im nearly sure you will not rub.

I will be able to say better in a few weeks once the PS2s are mounted, but with my current Pirellis, I am close. With caliper/vernier in hand, I did some measuring and with the PS2 being 1" taller than the Pirelli, I think there will be scraping on mine at stock hieght, never mind lowered.

If you do it, let me know! I am very curious!

When you hit a bump, does the car bounce up and down for the next two miles like a mid 70's Caddy? That could mean you need shocks.

Boing! Boing!

i just bought a set a of rims 19x10 and 20x12 which tire do i need 335/25/20 or 335/30/20 ??

 

[GTS-R 001]

I just put some 20 x 13 rears with PS2's and 19 x 10 fronts and my GTS is lowered and it is fine, I am sure that if I hit a huge bump something may happen,

 

[Chipster]

Good to know. Thanks

 

[pedro]

which size tire are you using on the rear

 

[pedro]

new zo6 are running 335/25/20 tires are lower.Will it be better to run a lower tire size so they do not rub?

 

[Viper Specialty]

This is an option, but keep in mind the ZO6 tires are RunFlats- albeit MUCH better than the runflats that ever came on the Viper. Also, the matching front RunFlats are ONLY available as 19's- so that cuts out guys running 20" fronts in most cases such as Mopar Boy...

 

[pedro]

my front rim are 19

 

[GTS-R 001]

which size tire are you using on the rear

My rears are 335 30 R20 fronts are 285 19 35 I believe,

Here is what they look like on the car (lots of roommmm)

 

[pedro]

Thanks!!!!!!!!! i was going to use 275/35/19 on the front. Those your tire hit when you turn hard to one side?if not ill get 285/35/19

 

[GTS-R 001]

Thanks!!!!!!!!! i was going to use 275/35/19 on the front. Those your tire hit when you turn hard to one side?if not ill get 285/35/19

No, you are quite safe at 285 or even 295

 

[pedro]

Thanks for the help

 

[Viper Specialty]

I run 295/30/19 on the front to balance out the understeer a bit, works well.

 

[dave6666]

I am also using the 295/30/19 PS2's with 11" wide rims on the front and no rub or turning issues. Very slight bump when closing hood but not enough to need to do anything but just keep closing the hood.

I took some pics of the 335/30/20 rub I have on the rear and posted them if you have not seen that thread yet.

 

[Mopar Boy]

I will be running 295/25/20s on the front in a few weeks. I will let you know how the turn radius works. Don't think there will be an issue as overall diameter is shorter than my current 285/30/20 front....

Will let you know though!

Thanks again Mr. Dan for all your help and patience with me!

my 295/30r19s rub on full lock and i can't close the hood without turning the wheels. Have lowering caps and front offsets of 44mm
