I'm about to purchase a 2000 model WS6. I understand that the car will need new tires in the near future. At this moment I don't know what the factory tire size is. Here's my question. Can I run P275/40/ZR17's in the front and P285/40/ZR17's on the rear? or will I need to stick with a 35 series tire? I'm not sure what 40 series tires would look like as far as having too much side wall.


Thanks,

Ron.

yes you can run 285's in the rear! alot of people do!
285/40 17 = 26x11.5 275/40 17 + 25.6x11

Would you suggest sticking with 275/40/ZR 17's on the front? How would 285/40/ZR17's look on the front?

Thanks again.

It will look better! Not a huge difference but they look fatter!
275=25.6x11 Front
285=26x11.5 Back
So bascly .4 taller on rear and .5 widder Gives it a better look!
