I don't think you'll notice much difference them and 275's, visually

Probably can't tell much if anything, but these are 285s with 17x9.5 on all four corners.

Thanks. Just had to satisfy my curiosity. How do they handle...hooking, turns, road noise, etc.? I noticed you lowered it. Any rubbing issues? Thanks.

No clearance issues and handling is awesome! Sticks like glue. Much will depend on your choice of wheels. The wrong offset and you'll have problems. I also run 285s on all four corners of my 94 Camaro with chrome 10 spoke SS wheels with no problems. This one isn't lowered......

Both cars handle great, very little noise, no rubbing, I think its a stellar combo for balanced handling.

Okay, guess I'll go with 285s on 10s all round. I'll sacrifice the staggered look for great handling. Thanks! :) Might you have a front photo shot of the 285s??

here's an old pic prior to lowering, but you get the idea.

I think its hard to tell in the pics. I also think the handling is about the same, its not that big of a difference. The tire techinal is a litte taller so it might ride better being more rubber between you and the road. The biggest thing is the type of tire and the rubber compound I would say.

Your car is going to wander like a SOB with 285s. I think the biggest I'd go is a 275. I have a 265s on the front of my car now, and I like how those feel. It's more important to have the larger tires in the rear. I went with 295s for the rear of my car. It's up to you though.

I can't compare it to 275's, I went from 245/50/16 to 285/40/17. Honestly it's not that much different to me.
