275's. However explain the grip you are looking for?

Straight line grip? Cornering grip?

If you go wider, you will need new rims. If you are looking for a good all around tire....I run the Continental Extreme Contact DWS06. They are awesome.

I plan to get a different set of rims anyway so that coo. I plan to put h&r springs on too do you think there will be clearance issues ?

Have you recorded your g's I get 1.02 with the stock pp tires
Where I get only .80 with winter tires
Got a set of Michelin PILOT SPORT A/S 3+ on the way going to try mainly just wanted a tire that did pretty well in a straight line and was all season low on noise and hoping for at least 5 years before I need a new set

275-40s on 20x9.5 et35 with H&Rs. Slight rub in the rear occasionally with big dips in the road potholes and speed bumps don't seem to be an issue. I haven't got round to look where but from other threads I think it's an easy fix.
