Does the oem 437m fit the front?

GT_Juls · 02-10-2020, 12:00 AM

Would a 275/35/19 437m rear fit in the front without rubbing? Would it provide more grip or is it just mostly the rear that needs more tire?

I believe it'll fit with a spacer.

It will fit, but you will need a spacer to reduce the offset.

Are you planning to run a square setup with the same wheels/tires front and rear?

Yes and i'm interested to know if it will help with traction as well.

What do you mean by “traction” ?

I'm running 265 front rear 285 on 437m's and my issue is that in mdm mode (relevant or not) I feel the front tires side walls give away where there is some funky up and down and somewhat slight sideways motion occurring on turns above 70 on 5-7 degree turns. Moving back to oem sizes for this wheel.

I have ran the 437m rears in the front. You will need a 12mm spacers to clear the OEM struts and will need a larger spacer(15mm and up) to clear coilovers. I do love the extra front end grip.
