Indy 500 vs Pilot 4S tread width

neilvan · 05-06-2022, 08:43 AM

Anyone have experience going from Indy 500 to Pilot 4S or vice versa.

My car E90 LCI so the 8mm wider rear hubs (in the rear) came with 255/30/19 Pilot 4S which are now done and 19x9.5 +35 wheels. They fit well and rub ever do slightly in 1 spot on hard dips(never really been an issue.

I do have an LSD and Id like to do wider. I am okay doing a minor fender roll to get more width in the back but I do not want to have to flat roll/pull.

I would like 275s in the back but I doubt the 4S is going to fit; Indy 500 I have heard is a bit narrower. so Ive been hoping on the wider 265s

(Tire rack section and tread widths also dont make any sense)

I just went from MPSS's to Indy 500's and the Firestone tire is visibly narrower. I know you asked about the 4S, but I'm assuming both Michelin tires are the same widths for their respective sizes.

I ended up going with the 265 Indy 500 and yes they have pretty similar tread width as the MP4S (wider section width though) so they don't rub.

I really should have gone with the 275 and done a light/minor roll but that will be for the next set
