275/30/20 or 285/30/20 ??
Is there a huge difference? Looking to replace my rears only for now. This is going on a 20x10 rim. I'm planning a drop (coilovers) soon too, so I want to make sure it won't rub. Is one lower profile than the other? The reason I'm replacing the rears is b/c the rims came with 35 series tire which is a little too beefy for my taste. I'm getting these in Falken 452's to match the fronts. I've got 245/35 on the fronts which are low profile, and look very nice. Trying to match the rears now...245/35f and 275/30 r seems to be a popular combo on here...
Thanks!
Thanks!

its alot cheaper to run 30s in the back, i prefer more beefier like 35s on the rears though. 35's all around makes the stance of the car more aggressive IMO. if you want to run 285/30 depending on most wheels you have to roll your fenders.

^^ i know its hard to explain... makes the fronts lower than the rears, oviously you can solve the problem with coilovers but i just had springs.

As I keep looking at it, the rears look so much more teller than the fronts

Oh, and from what I've found the 30 series are bit more expensive than the 35's.
