Need feedback on tire sizes

Hey guys.
I'm about to place an order for some new tires.
They'll be going on my VOLK GT30's. 9.5"F and 10.5"R combo.

I already have 255/35/20 Yokohama S Drives for my front wheels.
I'm bouncing back and forth between getting 275 or 285 for the rear.
I am dropped on Eibachs.

Will understeering be a problem if I get 275? (considering the 255 in front)
Will rubbing be an issue with 285?

Thanks!

Dude!!!!! Go 285/30/20 rear definitely...The 275/30/20 is tooo stretched IMO on a 10.5" rear wheel...Since your on Eibachs you shouldn't have any rubbing issues..But if you do have rubbing, you will have it in the rear and it will be the rear bumper bracket...You can trim that really easy.. Good luck and happy modding...LOL.

depends on the offset of the rear wheels as well. you should be able to run 285. if you do have any rubbing issues, u can always run a bit of negative camber and maybe also trim the fender liners and bracket.

I've had both 275 and 285 for my rears when I had my GT30s. I liked the 275s best.

That's what I'm trying to avoid, trimming anything back there.

Where the 275's stretched out? Why do you like them better than 285?

I just ordered Yokohama S Drives in 285's. 255's up front.
Hope there's no rubbing issues. *crosses fingers.
