I think it would look just fine. You might be better off going 275/35 for the fronts, though. 285 is probably going to be a little too tall.

This is what a 305/30/19 PSS looks like on a 10.5" rim:

Yay!!! My room is already booked, and I received my oil cooler and brake lines/fluid yesterday, so I'll be ready!

*Sigh* Looks like the 285/35/19 might not be available anymore for the PSS. Talking to Tire Rack now... may end up having to go with the RE11s.

Err...I don't really want to run 2 kinds of tires if I can help it.

I would never do that.

If they aren't available I'd do RE11 front & rear.

I'll just shelve the discussion until springtime. No sense in worrying about it now.

m4a1mustang · 12-03-2013, 12:20 PM

I *could* try the 295/30. This is what it looks like on a 10" rim at stock ride height:

That's KaienZ34's car.

Approximately 1/4" more fender gap than stock:

MyKindaGuise · 12-03-2013, 12:34 PM

Do it! 295s!!!!!!!!

m4a1mustang · 12-03-2013, 12:38 PM

Thing is, I don't really plan on lowering the car, so I'd have to live with the gap. I wish there were more people with pics of this setup... i know a few people have done it on the stock rays at stock height, but no pics!

Not even some swifts? I know you have had way more cars then me and have been there done that but....I said that same thing about lowering. I really don't know how that is going to look. Could always wait for me to man up and get tires and drive down and we just throw my wheels on your car.

Yeah with where I drive I can't really afford to lower the car. It scrapes enough as is. I think if I can't get the 285/35 PSS I'll either go back to stock size on PSS or switch to 265/285 RE11.

Probably the RE11. Have always wanted to give them a try, anyway.

m4a1mustang · 12-03-2013, 01:07 PM

TireRack got back to me. Even the 265/35 is being discontinued, they just happen to have them in stock. Looks like I'm switching to RE-11!

Edit: Might actually do the S-04. An improvement over the RE050A by quite a bit, but a small step down from the PSS (Always finishes #2). Would be a better DD tire than the RE-11... thinking thinking thinking!

chieuxuan · 12-03-2013, 01:44 PM

do it man, you already have 18s snow tires, you can use them for dd all year around

MyKindaGuise · 12-03-2013, 02:14 PM

I have had my eyes on the S04s as well. They seem to be doing much better than the RE50s. If you get those I want a full review!
