Looking at new tires. Stoped at local dealer just to look. The lady behind the counter said; with radials all four should be the same width?. She also said that all radials are dot approved? Wanting to go with 27" Tusk Terrabite. if so what size spacers should I go with.
P.s. not worried about width restrictions.
P.p.s. going to stick with stock wheels.

From what I've read some do run all four the same but I didn't know why or if there is some benefit to that that I hadn't considered.
The only benefit that I can see to running the same size all around would be if you carried a spare.

My 2019 Bugatti Chiron doesn't either.

Well..... I'm sure that if I had one, They wouldn't be the same.

I know.... I'm not answering the question.
If all four are the same then a spare fits anywhere. As for spacers...(shrugging my shoulders)

My best guess is you would clear OK with 27" tires without spacers, on my P500 I am running 26x9x12 Roctane XD all the way around on OEM wheels. These tires are 26.5" tall and have never had any hint of rubbing in 3 years.

They aren't all the same on the wife's lambo either.... Anyway I'm not planning on a spare yet, but if I did, I'd probably go with the width of the front. From what I've read on here I wasn't worried about rub with these tires (they reportedly run short) but, that if I go up I needed to go out as well.

I would think that with the smaller tires on front it would turn sharper than with wide tires. If not sharper, it'd turn much easier for sure. P500's should come with power steering.
