More pics tomorrow probably. I will be getting the adjustable PHB soon. I will need it anyway eventually. As for the speedo, I am just watching my speed and going a hair under the limit because I'm actually going faster since the tire is a larger radius. Eventually when I have a tuner I will do it that way but until then I don't mind. So far in the 35degree weather and rain these things stick amazingly well.

 

I think I would be less worried about the speed. You can adjust for that. But not having an accurate odo might bother me a bit. Especially if the new tire size was putting on additional miles.

 

The 275/40's are only about a 1/2" taller then the std 255/40 Pirellis on a Brembo car.
But their the same height as the 245/45's that are std on other 19" wheels so I do not believe a speedo recalibration is needed.

 

Looks good! No extra 4x4 looks.

Thats a kid who is being brought up right.

So... will the Boss sized tires fit on the stock Brembo wheels and still perfom ok? IIRC, the Boss wheels are a bit wider...

 

The rears on the BOSS are 10" wide and a 285. That's pushing it on the 9" wheel. There will be a lot of bulge and a lot of "squish" side to side.

 

Thanks, the pic is on the famous Woodward Ave.
Taken at our weekly hangout spot. My Daughter has been coming out with us since she was 2 months old she is 8 now.


Boss rear wheels are 9.5's and they run a 285/35. There are several people running 285/35's on stock 9" Brembo's. I personally would stay away from anything bigger then the 275's.


I am planning on getting some 19x10's on all four corners down the road and will be going 285/35's.

 

So 285/35s on 19x10s wont rub up front? Planning 9.5s with 275s but 10s are easier to find if they'll work up front.

 

There are several people running 10"+ wide wheels on the front the key is nailing the wheel offsets.

Thanks, but too close for me. I'll have to stick with 9.5s I guess.

 

Maybe it was just the BOSS LS rears. That were 10. The 302S wheels are 18x10 Squared I think.

 

except his is biased to the right.
