Most of us run a 160/60/18 Metzeler or Avon on the front. Take a look at my post from last night on that topic. If your 280 is on a stock wheel, it will make the 280 no wider than a 250 Dunlop or a 260 Metzeler due to how far the side walls are pinched in. There are some threads on this site that show all 3 sizes mounted on stock wheels, side by side. The only thing you gain is tread on the sidewall when you mount it on stock wheels.

here is my post from last night.
