Since my rears have balded, I've been staring at RE11s, trying to find a solution that works. They apparently don't come in the stock sport package size, so I'm trying to see just how wide I can go with minimal investment.

If all I need are some spacers to go with extra wide rears (305/35R19) and widened fronts (275/40R19), then it sounds very attractive, so long as there's no insane amount or rub or whatever. I'm still running a stock suspension, and the only thing I'll end up doing in the near future is probably a set of tein springs for a mild drop. I don't want rub!

Last search led me to mixed conclusions (i.e, rubs vs. perfectly fine)...

Oh, for anyone who wants to see the effect on speedo -- Tire size calculator
The meaty tire thread was something I was reading up on; ironically, people with the widest tires say the least about how they went about their choice. Universally, it seems spacers are required.
