"+1" Tires Sizes
I am about to buy some Cup 2 tires. I'm on the OEM 20-in wheels. Other than stock sizes, what are the sizes some of you have fit on the car with no rubbing?
I'm also on the stock suspension. If you could show a picture of your size, I'll appreciate it.

275/35r20 and 305/30r20 is about as big as you can run on the stock wheels. However I'm running wider wheels and have no issues with fitment on 325/30r20 tyres and 18mm offset wheels which is 1mm further out than stock. So no issues at all with running 305/30r20 on stock wheels

Here is a pic of 305s on stock 20” wheels and stock suspension if this helps. The tyre is MP4S, so Cup 2 sidewall may look slightly different.

I think the max you could go with on a 343 (rear) is 295 (305 in case of a narrow sidewalls). 433 is 10.5 & 343 is 10.

Thanks guys, as I'm buying Cup 2s, looks like it'll be 275/35 305/30 for me!

@Flying Ace, you know that you will have no grip with the cup 2 when the road is wet. I would go with the sport 2s as they have almost the same grip when dry but much more when wet. The cup tires are designed for the track with road usage. The sport 2 s are designed for the road with track usage.

But in about 2008 or so when I was in Melbourne over xmas/new years it was 45C one day, then 5C the next day with massive sheets of rain coming down everywhere. I've also seen snow around Dandenong when it was 35C a few days earlier! In saying that, in Auckland I've been running Sport Cup 2 from the end of November to now. But when I went to National Park a month ago and it was 5C in the morning it was super sketchy! In 3rd gear I was massively sideways at about 50kmh
