Default Anyone run a 265 35 20 on the front?

Planning to upgrade from the pirelli's to the new PS4S's and noticed the 255 35 20 is very "stretched" on my 20 x 9.5 rim (with 42 et)

Anyone running a larger front tire?

Mine is the 2015 RWD R coupe, so I don't have to worry about freaking out the 4WD system.

Seems like 255 is too skinny for this heavy a car, Jaguar trying to meet gas mileage requirements or something?

I run a 265/30/20 up front but it does rub a tad.
I am also lowered almost 2".
On stock height, go for it.

I'm lowered too, H&R Springs. You get rub at full turn? or straight line over bump?

Mostly just on turning uphill, i.e. a driveway.
I got a buddy of mine to roll the fenders, aka hood, last week however and it cleared that issue up.
Now remember, I am rubbing a tad with 265/30's... 265/35 while lowered would rub A LOT.

But you also have to remember that you're running a 20x10 +32 where as he is running a 20x9.5 +42 so your wheels sit 16mm further out. I would think the extra 16mm would help outer fender clearance.

In the front, I run MPSS at 265/30/20 on SVR wheels, zero rub. I'm dropped an inch on VelocityAP springs. Installing the 15mm spacers soon, will update of I find out there is rubbing.

What size and offset are the SVR wheels?
