Can i run 285/30/18 on front?

1 BAD BURB · 10-11-2009, 10:02 PM

i have the ccw classics, front rim is 18x11. i run a 295/35 front and 335/30 rear right now. i get the AH and T/C errors when i go into a hard turn b/c the front tires are just 1/4" taller then the rear.

if i get a 285/30, the front tire will be a whole 1.25" shorter then the rear which will eliminate my issues. however, do you guys think a 285/30 would look wierd as a front? the 295/35 i have now fills up the wheel well pretty nicely.

i believe a 285/35 will work as its 0.06 smaller then the rear (its a close margin) but its a tough size to come by. should i just wait for the 35 series profile or go with the 30 series.

also, am i messing with the speedo and mileage meters by going to such a smaller tire?

the reason i ask is b/c a fellow vette member posted a set of michelin pilots in 285/30 and for a great price. i really want them but i noticed the 30 series and i question it now.

Any input would be great, thanks all...

They'll work fine. Your speed sensor is your differential.

Thanks bud! I did end up buying the tires as my fronts are shot to hell.

With all the work you're doing why are you still listing it for sale ?

What are you going to buy next ?

I want to sell so I can have the large lavish wedding that my gf wants. I also need just a few more grand to be able to buy her the 15k ring. Lol

it's also been 5 yrs with this car and it's time to either step it up a notch with FI or sell it. If I bought something new it would be a couple yrs down the road and will prolly be a GTM. All theory right now but who knows.

Is ur car done now? All the body work and why not?
Thx again Tony!

I'm like you, it's been 5 years and my life has changed some. I'm married and already did the wedding and wedding ring thing, so that is behind me.

I finished the body work, but have decided to move on myself and buy a 2001 SW Z06. Ever since I saw one up at Carlilse I have been drooling over the car.

Going to pick it up this Friday.

BTW, here is what old blue looks like.

Good Luck with the wedding.
