295's?

Post by don0301 » Wed Mar 07, 2018 8:23 am

I've got MTM Bimoto 21" wheels with presently 285/30/21 tyres on

I want new tyres (MPS4S preference but there's limited sizes available in 21")

One size available with correct load rating is 295/30/21 which is also within diameter tolerances

Has anyone fitted 295's to a C6 RS6? Any rubbing issues?

MTM's with 285 just about clear the inner suspension leg on the rear, 295 will definately rub
Plus 295 will equate to a 10mm larger diameter than OEM, stick with 285.

Thanks for that

Just wish they would bring out MPS4S in 285/30/21 :/

Golf - Weren't Classba's 22in alloys fitted with 295's?

EDIT - Nope, 10.5 x 22 ET42 with 285/25 and no rubbing.
