I'm looking at tires and have both a 275-35 and a 285-35 to choose from. The 285 seems like it might be too big on the front so thought is ask.

I have 295/35/18's up front and they are fine. 285's are no problem

I went from a 285/30/18 to a 285/35 on the front of my lowered 90 ZR-1 and didn't like the taller tire. JMHO

No rubbing issues with your 295/35's? Seems most are happy with 285 or 295's. Not much difference in size really, .3" in ht and .4" in width...for Pilot SS's anyway.

Also, any pics of 295's on a Z?

I have 315 fronts on proper aftermarket rims.
No problems.

I'd really like to see some pictures with a 285-18 on the front of a car. My wheels should be done in about a week and I need to make a decision.
