F-Type 380 forces, 2013 release, rear-wheel drive. There are 20-inch wheels on the rear axle, the tires are 295/30 / R20, tell me if it is possible to put a 35 profile instead of a 30 profile, i.e. tires 295/35/R20? Will they stick anywhere? Is it safe to do so? Who put himself 295/35/R20 on the rear axle?
 
Won't the sidewalls look a bit odd that way - bigger at the back? Or are you looking for a "back higher" stance?
 
A friend offered to give me new tires for free, but their size is 295/35/R20. So I ask if it is possible to put such, everything will be fine?
 
The main problem you face with doing so is that the speedo will be under-reporting your speed, assuming the speed sensor gets its speed from the rear tyres, and that's a big no-no. It's not going to be under-reading by much, but given that a friend of mine received a speeding fine in Belgium recently for doing 2kph over the 30kph limit, do you really want to take that risk?
 
I won’t have speeding, the speedometer is not a problem, the main thing that worries me is whether the tire will become, will it not cling anywhere to the protection, the rack?
 
I cannot say if they will fit or not as they are not a standard tyre.
I would suggest you check your insurance as fitting of non approved tyre dimensions invalidates most insurance policies. Separately it may also affect the anti lock brakes gives the front and rear tyres will be revolving at different speeds.
Personally I would not be fitting such tyres even it they were free
 
I had a buddy who did something similar on his car, and while it fit fine, he noticed a slight change in how the car handled at higher speeds.

If you're unsure and don’t want to risk it, it might be worth asking a professional. I usually go to SMC Towing Group when I need roadside assistance or tire-related services. They've been pretty reliable.
