I believe Robert K has set the FAT cutoff point at 275s, so definitely worthy!
Looks nice BTW

Those didn't look like a 285 on a 10.5 wheel.

Haha, I know for some reason it doesn't look like it. But I think it's because the way the super sports stretch on it. It's 285 for sure

Has anyone else ran this setup on a Sport Sedan? Thoughts?

10.5 +45 all around
15mm spacers

255/35/20 / Front
275/30/20 / Rears

A +45 w/ a 15mm spacer netting a +30 would be too aggressive (poke) on a sedan. You'll need to run gay amounts of camber. Also a 275 tire on a 10.5 wide wheel will stretch.

Interesting, as that layout was suggested to me by Diego.


I'll be on Swifts...so what is the suggestion on a sport sedan with 10.5 all around?

I'll have to play with the numbers for the front but I'm running a 285/30-19x10.5 +45 on the rear with Swift springs. I think this is a great set-up for overall look and performance. I will be trying a 295/30 next tire change.

Thanks, I could really use your and the communities help on this one. I love the look of the CV7, and can't imagine going with anything else.

The ideal plan would be 20x10.5 wrapped around as I love concave.

IMO you'd have to go w/ something similar to Natalies' setup, the 10.5s in the front are the kicker, a wide tire up front will be hitting everything. Here's her setup but requires pretty stretched tires

She doesn't have the Sport sedan though, so what would be my solution?

No worries. No major differences from the sedan to sport sedan other than big brakes and some other interior options. Still those 255's on a 10.5 wide wheel…

255 tires are designed to be mounted on 8.5 to 9" rims so stretching them out an additional 1.5 inches at the bead has some consequences. Here's a good read, scroll down to "Tire Fitments"~

So, what you're really telling me is that I can't run 20x10.5 all the way around on swifts for my sport sedan right?

I'm fine with using hubcentric spacers, but wanted to avoid alot of negative camber. I dont plan on going lower than what the Swifts offer.

Please help

Alternative solution: What wheel and tire spec will have the most concave that I can safely drive an unstretched tire?
