There is a high risk of the bead coming off the rim with high cornering loads, with the significant pinching of the sidewalls on such a narrow rim.
Yeah I've read that somewhere before, but I'm not tracking the car... this is my daily driver and actually handles really well. I actually had 265/35 on there before I put these on... I'll eventually go with wider rim to make up for the space in the wheel well. I like how it looks and they're are no corners when you're going in a straight line lol. I've been looking at rims 18x9.5+35,+42 or so for the rear, so don't worry too much, but thanks for the heads up. It is possible to run 275s on the F22

Lmao, honestly I'm surprised they fit but they did and I like the look, regardless of any corners. They grip the road really nicely as well in sports mode.
