Yup picked up the flat black (although it was not as sweet of a deal as the gunmetals!). I believe you can fit a 325 in the rear without too much hassle if you really wanted to. As for the front, i "think" i want to try the 285/35/19 for front AND rear on re11s. Im currently on nismo suspension but might add some spl front camber arms to add a little more camber. I also dont mind rolling a little if i have to. Which part of the inner suspension do you think would rub at full lock?
Do you think 10mm spacer was the way to go? Im sure you have a much better feel seeing it in real life. Im trying to pick either a +15 or +10 offset to match the fronts.
How do you like the s04s? Do you have any comparisons to other tires?
Again, super thanks for giving me all this awesome info.

No worries man. I'm not an expert on this so I can't say exactly which part it's going to rub, but 10.5 will give you less inner clearance than stock for obvious reason. The shop where I go, tirerack, ravspec also told me that they wouldn't recommend going wider than 265. This is what tirerack told me "The 265/35R19 has a rim width range of 9 to 10.5 inches in width so it is a good fit on your 10.5 inch wide wheel. That is wider than we recommend running on the front so I would not be able to recommend going even wider." I think they probably worry about rubbing inner wheel well or fender. I just calculated inner clearance using offset calculator and it showed me only 2mm less clearance than stock. Even if you fit 285, I don't think it would rub strut but only inner well or fender because of the tire height.
If you want it to be super flush, I would say go for 25mm(+5 offset). Mine looks ok but it would've been much better if I had put 15mm.
Vancouver rains a lot so I wanted to get something that gives me a better grip when wet and good enough performance when dry. This tire really fits my criteria. And it's cheap! If you don't track your car, I don't see any point of paying extra money for re11 honestly.
