Wheel Tire Combination / Maxton Design Aero Kit

Just ordered a custom Vossen HF5 21" wheelset but I have a couple of questions for the gurus.
Wheels


Wheel size:
Front: 21x10
Rear : 21x11

Recommended tires by the shop (Michelin Pilot Sport 4S).
Front: 275/30/21
Rear: 295/30/21 <-- Back ordered until December

Are the front tires going to be too small for the wheel width? Should I go 285's in the front without rubbing on the fenders or altering the speedo? I will not be lowering the car.

Side Look


Rear Look


Front


Thanks!

I have the same size wheels and went with 285--my offset for the front is 18. No rubbing at all. You may or may not have problems depending on your offsets

Ok, will confirm with the wheel builder the offset of the wheels and then will figure out if I can go to 285/30/21.

Thanks

some folks do 10 or 15 mm spacers. so if you're want to, you have room to go bigger without spacers.

p.s. I love those wheels and actually want some HF5 myself.

I currently have 11MM spacers all around but was told that I won't need them with new wheels. We'll see.
Can't wait to mount them (HF5's).
