You can safely go up to a 305 and it will look perfect.

 

You can do 305 only with R888R’s. With other remakes you can go up to 295 rear and 235 front. That’s currently what I am running with Sport Cup 2’s.

 

305 is completely out according to McLaren however on heavy track days they can rub the inner guard plastic

 

Any chance you can post pics of the overall look with the 295/235. Like to see how they sit. Im thinking of doing the same

 

I’ll be getting my car back from service tomorrow and I can take some pics. Honestly though it looks the same. There’s no overhang or noticeable visible difference from the stock tire size.

 

Ok. Dont bother too much. Was just curious. I thought the front may look a touch less 'stretched' over the rim as it kind of does with the 225. I also used to like the look of my wide 295's on the r8. Made the rear look 'fat'
Talking purely looks but would also enjoy the extra grip. I know mac particularly designed with these sizes so the car was fun and did slide around a bit.

 

Now that I think of it I know what you’re talking about. I’ll take some photos for you tomorrow.

 

Stick some Spacers on and up the rear width to 295 on stock wheels (I wouldn’t go any wider on the stock rims if you track the car )
It makes the 570s much more aggressive looking from the rear

 

 

Any pictures yet? I am interested to see how they look.

 

Also... those of you who have added spacers onto the OEM wheels, please let us know the width and whether you needed new wheel bolts. And of course, pics are mandatory. ??

 

I have these fitted to my 570s on Superlight Wheels.
They add to the handling on track and give the car a much more purposeful stance

 

Just installed the bigger Sport 4S tires and spacers. Front: 235/35/19 with 12mm spacers. Rear: 295/35/20 with 15mm spacers. Much more aggressive than stock. Because of taller side wall especially on rear, the fender gap is reduced and car looks lowered. Perfect!

 

Sorry for the delay on the photos.
Here’s what 35 up front and 295 rear looks like with Sport Cup 2s around the wheel. It definitely does not have a stretched look but has more of a bulge to it.

Are your wheels the optional 5 Twin spoked lightweights ?

 

Beautiful, thank you. This now actually looks like the correct size tyres for the rims. What it was supposed to be. Certainly the front does. I suspect Mac downsized the tyres after some R+D to engineer a little slide into the car after the fact.
Thanks SLD7007

 

I have 305 cup 2 and track all the time. They dont rub at all. Im not lowered or anything though. McLaren/triv said same thing to me. Its BS.
Put suspension into track and stiffen it up if worried

 

Mine are fine. Have done probably 10 track days with 305 cup2. Not sure on other brands. Cup2 305 are wider and squarer than pzero 305
Plenty of hard corners at the track i go to.

 

Here’s PSS4’s in 305 for the rear..
