3.3TT Staggered Wheel set up. How wide can I go in the front???

[DaBears4Lyfe]

I have a RWD GT with the staggered set up.

I know someone getting rid of Pirelli SottoZero3 that he used for 2k miles. They are in perfect condition.....

The question is how wide can i go in the front? They are all 255 tires. The stock fronts on a staggered set up are 225.

I think the widest you can go on the 8"rim up front is 245.

Put one of your rears on the front and see what kind of clearance you have.

I recently put the rear 8.5” wide rear wheel on the front and the edge of the wheel is pressed tight against the suspension. So the 255s are going to rub for sure unless you get new rims with at least a +30mm offset.

Thanks.

On that note, I’m planning on mounting 255 winter tires all around on 19x8.5” wheels. I can get away with a +30mm offset wheel on the front, but does anyone have experience with a greater positive offset on the front with 19x8.5” wheels, like +35mm? Is that getting too close for comfort?
