275/45/20 To cut or not to cut springs???

[zx12rtoo]

Bout to put on H&Rs currently running 265/50/20. Like the idea of the 20" stockers looking bigger with 275/45 but don't want to cancel the drop. thinking if I cut 1/2" front shave 1/2" rear should be decent. Checked forums did not see exact answer. Can anyone comment on the 275/45 cut H&R ride?? SHould I be good with 20mm spacers on either setup if I sticket with 265/50 cut? According to this chart U loose almost a full inch.

using the tire calculator in the "members" tab above....

the 275 45 20 tire will be .3 in SMALLER in radius (2x is the diameter ), so its going to make a little difference. I think there is a few people with cut H&Rs, I think you will be good... and great with spacers.

dont forget the diff in size will change your odometer speed and the MPG reading on the onboard computer.
