Need advice on tire size: [285-30-20] vs [275-35-20]

hello!

I want to put thicker tires on my G-Sedan. currently i have 245-35-20 fronts and 285-30-20 rears. My rears are going and i am thinking about putting 275-35-20 while keeping same size in fronts. Fitment is not an issue, i have coilovers, I can adjust height. A minor speed error is also acceptable. My worry is, will i encounter any handling issue or any other issue that i don't even know?
final setup would be 245-35 and 275-35.

haalp !

275/35 is over the 3% variance, stick with a 30 profile. If you go with a 275/30 you will have slightly less understeer than the 285s

Do what I did, get 18s, you'll have plenty of sidewall

Are you unhappy w/ the firmness of the 285/30?
I'd stick w/ them if that's the only reason, the 35s will have a bit softer ride but the difference will be very slight.

from last 3 months I am looking for a good deal on 370z sport wheels (2013+ model), still looking. I am happy with 285-30 but some more sidewall meat will look more aggressive and ride quality may also increase (smoothness wise)
thats the idea for now.
