I actually came across a thread yesterday where a guy ran 305 NT05R on his PP wheels. They tend to run more narrow than other brands. Maybe something you might want to try.

Queston with 275 on the front will it rub on the inside. I see that roush sells some steering stoppers or that may be when running 20 inch wheels with 275 up front

Just for general information. Although not followed by many, the recommendations are primarily(not entirely) based on the following.

Default Just ordered NITTO 265 front and 305 rear

I've been doing some researching and would like to put 275 up front which seems ok to do, but I REALLY want to put 305 in the back which I am finding 50% mixed results on.
Been doing the same research and after seeing some setups at car shows I decided on the NITTO NT555 G2 tires. I spoke to AM and they confirmed that the setup will work great. So I ordered 265/40/19 front and 305/35/19 rear. I also have a 20mm space on the front and back which puts the stock PP rims at the edge (highly recommend doing this, at least for the back). The spacers add about 3/4" of offset. I'll update this post after I have them installed.

Sweet! I'm now rocking 285/35/20 in the front and 305/35/20 in the back with LMR's gt350 rims.
