It's time to get new tires and I'm wanting a little more sidewall.

I have 265/30/21 right now with no rubbing issues and I'd like to go to the new Michelin PSS 285/30/21.

I have 10" wide ET35 wheels.

I'm wondering what you guys think...Anyone been down this road before? Pics below:

I think you should buy my 20x9.5 ET35 P101 in brushed tinted clear! Thats what I think! lol

BOOM lots more sidewall with 265/35/20.... I have been down the 21 road and I am happy to be on the 20 road now. Much better ride and more wheel protection. And I think they look better on the car, IMNSHO

Now, regarding whether 285/21 will fit....

Are you lowered at all? If you put those 285 on there it will be 10mm more tire on each side of center. More toward fender about 3/8 of an inch and 12mm taller overall with 6mm of it being above the axle(almost a 1/4 inch additional protrusion up into the wheel well).

I think Spero was using the 285 on his faux RS6 but I doubt that his offset was as aggressive as yours.

Going by the pics, it looks like it might fit. Doesn't look like you are lowered too much

Thanks Dude. I'm going to take the car to Wheels Boutique and have them measure it out. I think they'll fit, but it'll be close. I'm running about a 25mm drop with my links. I texted Spero about his 285s. We'll see what he says. PM me about your P101s. I love my 21's, but you can never have too many HRE's!!!
