hmm, maybe this the answer.....here is a 265/35 on a 8.5" wheel
I'm still concerned a 305/30 might be too short for the rear....it's sidewall is 3.6" where as the stock 285/35 is 3.92, which translates into a 2.43% difference.
For the fronts a 265/35 sidewall is 3.65" where as the stock 255/40 is 4.01, which translates into a 2.71% difference.
Would this much difference cause errors, or super fender gap..lol

The rear is the one you have to worry about % for speedo , up to 3% difference , Fender gap wont look offroad. I would keep aspect ratios close to each other
In regards to the rears thats tricky you have 11 inch wide so you'll stretch the tire a lil bit more ...3 choices Stock, 295/35, 305/30.The 295's hardly have any applications

no 295/35 options out there other than that BF I posted in the first post.....but then they don't make a matching 265/40....so that option is out.
the OE 285/35 is out as it looks retarded on an 11" wheel...or at least the OE Pilots do. I wonder if a different brand in a 285/35 would look any better?
So, looks like the only option is the 305/30...which I have a perfectly good pair of Hankook V12's in that size that were on my 550.....
Brands are fairly limited in the 265/35....no matching Hankook...doh :thumbsdown:

I think I may just stick with the OEM 285/35 rear size. I've been looking at pics and a 285/35 looks fine to me on a 19x11 wheel. It doesn't look as stretched as I thought it would.

Linky no worky.......
305/30 is just too short I think for the M6 on 19's which I think would make the fender gap look retarded even with the lowering springs.
I'm wondering if the tire shop over inflated my 285/35 when they test fitted it on the 11......
The sidewall looks far more stretched than the tires do in the Z pics. I think it may just be the PS2's.
Which brands run wider than PS2's?
