255 & 275 on 19 ZCP's?

Justin Case · 04-18-2014, 10:12 PM

Hey guys,

Looking to get 255 and 275's on my ZCP's, is this possible at all? Or only 245/265 will fit?

Cheers

Use search. Ppl here will probably say that is the most common tire size increase and depending on make of tire, it doesnt rub. Stick with michelin and your good to go.

Justin Case · 04-18-2014, 10:27 PM

Thanks for the reply. Was thinking of going with PSS again. Would there be any negative affects on handling?

Canuckles · 04-18-2014, 10:34 PM

Doubtful. It's not a huge change 1cm, just keep stagger the same.

255/275 PSS is the most common tire upsizing for the ZCPs. Plenty of people run this without incident.

Im running 255/275 PSS and there a Perfect fit.

A very slight drop in steering feedback and wet weather traction.

What profile on the rear - 30 or 35?

Justin Case · 04-19-2014, 01:00 PM

Thanks for the replies. I think there 35... On holiday ATM. So is there a noticeable amount of grip from the new setup? Mostly rains here in Scotland..

Euro GTS runs:

F 255/35-19
R 285/30-19

OEM ZCP from the factory is a 245/35/19 and 265/35/19. A lot of us upgrade to either a 255/35/19 and 275/35/19 or 285/30/19 in the rear. Issue is if you are stuck on a Mich. PSS you are probably going to end up with a 275/35/19.

I run a michelin pilot sport 285 in the rears. I love it.

Amirsm3 · 04-20-2014, 11:35 AM

255/275 is what I'm shooting for when I get my set of PSS bought from tire rack.

I think there's a promo right now for getting a 70 dollar prepaid master card if you buy a set of four.

Im with you..love the 285s out back. Those PS2s are horrendously expensive...

They fit fine. I prefer stock size PSS's on the street though. They're more rewarding in the handling/feel dept for me. I tried the +1 and went back to stock for that little extra sharpness/torque...not as beefy looking but that's not my priority.

krayzie · 04-21-2014, 05:03 AM

Currently running 245/35/19 and 265/35/19 Michelin PS2 and they looked stretched on the ZCP wheels.... I hate how it looks!
I find the Michelin PS2 run narrow compared to other brands.

How about the new Michelin PSS?
Will running 255/275 Michelin PSS still looked stretched? I want them flushed/same width as the rim.

275 PSS are still stretched in the back. IMHO the 275/35 looks like a monster truck tire if you are lowered. It is tucked and to me just does not look right.

So are you saying to run 285/30?

If they made pss in 285 I would be all over that. The Toyo t1 sport and the Conti 5P are both great tires, couple guys have run them with great reviews on here. I am running 295/30 now. I know it is not the best setup for a 10" wheel but Michelin approves the 295 on a 10" wheel. For ultimate performance the 10.5 would be better (or 11) but anyone driving to the point on the street where they can tell the difference in .5" of wheel width probably shouldnt be driving like that on the street.
The conti for the mercedes front axel is 11.1" tread width. That is wider than most 295 on the market, except ad08 and PSS.
If you believe the numbers the front axel 285 is wider than the rear axel 285.
I just cant bring myself to pay almost $800 for 2 rear conti tires.

Nice. I'm just wondering how 295/30 on KW V3 w/ 12.5mm spacers would work out on my Comp Pack wheels.... I really like Michelins and my buddy hated his VREDS. I have been trying to decide what to do.

I am on Eibach and 5mm spacers is all I can do with zcp. If I go 10 or 12 is rubs even with that plastic liner bump cut off. I made the sacrifice to run the 295 just because it is a Michelin. Where I commute our roads kind of suck too. I am worried the 285 is so thin it will make the ride even rougher, maybe not but it is something I thought about.

I'm so confused on spacers now.

So I can't run 10mm but I can run 5mm? Maybe I should send my 12.5s back and get 5s all around. I have not opened them yet....

I am running stock tire sizes right now though.
