Default Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 size?

Hello all,

I want to take my car to a racing track soon, but I can't find any good tires in 255/35/20 size. I already have rear tyres 295/30/20 Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2, so the only option is to buy 265/35/20, but I am not sure if it will fit.

I have standard V6 S RWD suspension, no wheel spacers.

What do you think?

Thanks!

I'm running 265/30/20 with no issues on larger wheels, so I can't imagine you would have trouble on factory wheels with 265/35/20

Between a 265/30/20 & a 265/35/20, the 35 aspect ratio will be closer to 255/35/20. It's about a %1 difference in circumference.

If you plan on tracking a lot, IMO, I would look at getting a set of 19" wheels. You'll have more options for track oriented tires in those sizes.

265/35-20 will work just fine.
