I appreciate they are 285's Ian, but would you mind meassuring the sidewall thickness for me please, from the rim protector up (as if they were fitted to wheels)

6mm difference in overall diameter

I use this calculator to work them out

Brilliant, Thanks mate

So if I stick to 245/35 on the front, 285/30's on the back, they should fit/look ok then?

You mean 245/35 on front then they would be exactly the same diameter front & back going by that calculator, can't see 285 on the back being any problem but always double check clearance

They do 285/35/20/104Y for £196, not sure if that's pushing things tho?

245/35 = 85.75MM (fronts)

275/30 = 82.5mm
285/30 = 85.5mm
285/35 = 99.5mm

Def have room height wise as the car is lowered but not that much, it just the width really?

Oh, and where to get them fitted?

Careful Tattooboy, as a little information can be dangerous.

Whilst you may have room for a taller profile under the arches, have you checked to see how much of a difference between front and rear rolling radii you can have before the ESP decided you're skidding and kicks in?

No, but the 285/35's make too much difference for me to be happy with them.

The 285/30's are only 0.8% circumference difference, which should be OK
