Yeah, I'm an hour away...so I feel your pain. Send me a PM when you go and I'll try to meet you out there.

I've heard nothing but good things about them, other than tread life. I have Nitto Invos on my SSRs and some Saleen 18" wheels with BFG drag radials for the drag strip.

the stock wheels dont support the re 11's unfortunately. Don't know what other good choices there are. Toyo?

Vredestein ultrac sessanta make sweet tires. On my stock wheels, could I go wider with tires or not really?

The RE-11s will work fine. There are plenty of guys on here that run them with the OEM 19"s. I believe a 265/285 or 265/305 is the popular setup.

285 is nothing...like I said, plenty of guys do a 305 in the rear on the OEM 10" wide rear wheels. I'm on H&R springs with a 305/30/19 on 19"x11"+4 rear wheels and I don't rub.

They don't HAVE to be used, but it like better to get the wheels flush with the fender.

I may do 265-40-19 F and 295-35-19 R on my stock wheel. With your experience, if I make a change like that, should I add anything since I am getting wider tires?
