Thoughts on tire size up front ..... Is this too wide ?

[Freaknazty]

Ok here's the deal I have 20x9.5 steedas on the car with 255/35 series tires now and they look like shit to me , so my question is is anyone running say a 275/35-285/30 up front/all around ? I know this will probably make it even more of a pita to drive but the 255 series tires are just too damn narrow ( even though they are rated to a 10" wheel ) .

IIRC The Roush cars run 275s up front

i run 275/35/20 in the rear. My rims are also 20x9.5! Up front i still have the 255's. i like the look of the 255's up front though!

AHHHH I think you are right because if I'm not mistaken they run 18x10 all around .

Which name brand tires ? Maybe the ones I have just run small .... I dunno I just find they look to stretched

You can run 275/285 in the front, but the issue is will the car tramline horribly?

I drove briefly with 285s up front and the wheel was getting yanked all over the place, but keep in mind the roads I drive on are just fucking horrible (cold climate - freeze/thaw damage)

i run a 275/40/18 or a 275/35/18 up front. I cant remember. I run the same on my 02. no problems on either

A lot of people run 275 up front, in fact if you order a wheel & tire package from LRS thats what you'll get.

True, kinda. Some we send out with 275 up front but not all. Or we can do whatever the customer likes. If you want to run a bigger/smaller tire than what we offer, we will also do that!

I ended up with 275 in back on my CS67's from ya'll. and a smaller tire in front. Looks good to me.

My car came with 275/35-20 up front and 275/40-20 in back on a 9/10 wheel package. I just happen to have a pile of the front Dunlops sitting in my garage from the Saleen auctions awhile back.
