Oh, and now I see you you're proposing a 1.5" width bump both front and rear and an inch wider tire (?) — that's 25mm — now you've lost me; I think that is just too extreme.
I would think going to 255 front and 285 rear would not be imprudent, but what you're talking about is pretty radical. My two cents.  |
Yes, I'm going 255 front and 285 rear.......only 10mm wider per tire. But the front rim will gain an inch from 8" to 9". The rear rim will go from 9" to 10.5". They are 20" dia wheels.
The M8 runs a 275 on a 9.5" wheel in front and a 285 on a 10.5" wheel in back. The width isn't the problem. My question still remains about the new height vs OEM.
