i want to put 285/35/18 tire on the rear of my 2003 str factory rim... is there ANY drawbacks to doing this

 

Might rub, I know Mafiaoso is running 285s in the rear.

 

No problem here I have been running them, plus lowered with H&R springs

 

Mafioso has 295's on the rear and they rub when suspension is fully depressed. He told me this a while back but may have rectified this. My 03 STR has 285's on the rear and they are just fine and was advized not to run anything wider.

 

I've heard repeatedly that for some reason, while millimeters (285) are a standard unit of the metric system, while all 285mm tires share the same number, they do not share the same width...I'd do some more research on the brand...

 

mikestar hey buddy intake is working great, thanks again.. dont u have 285's dws on rear??

 

Nope, I have 275s

 

Is anyone running 285's with 19 inch rims on the rear of their STR??

 

Such short words as 285 and 19 mean you have to use the kinds of things in here https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/j...le-site-60209/

so, such as this in google:

site:Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum - Powered by vBulletin +"285" +"19"

 

Got it!!! That's a very well written piece. Didn't know using combinations as such was possible. Trust I'm thanking you and will fully "exploit" this new process you've made me aware of JagV8

+1 twice to your knowledge of site operations and with your commentary for the OBDII scanners. I received one (the elm327), I'm awaiting the AutoEnginuity product and the laptop I purchased on which to run these.

You, and the rest of the participants here are absolutely AWESOME!!! This coming summer, we should get a meet together for a weekend.

 

Thanks!

It's not exactly... intuitive, though!!
