Presto, they will fit fine.

do you know this for sure? i've only seen pics so far of 305 hankooks on sport wheels and those have less wide tread than PSS's even though they are both 305s

PSS's tread width is 12.1" and the S-04 is only 10.5"

does that matter for mounting and fitment?

i'm freaking out mannnnnnnnnnn lol

not really. i'm just not trying to order tires just to have them put on, not fit, and be out that money. pretty sure there's no refunds on already mounted tires. may have to check the fine print on that one.

That's what I have on mine.
I had pss for 2 weeks as a trial off of Craigslist. I wound up going with Potenza S04's which were a hair wider than PSS http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/04/10/pa5ygeru.jpg

everything i read spec wise shows the PSS's are like 1.5" wider than the S-04s? not sure if it matter for fitment at all but thats why i'm asking.

so was the fitment ok on 305 PSS's?

It's not going to matter.

wtf?! what did you hit? lol

so no rub or issues?

No rub, and I'm using 15mm spacers in the rear.
Was smoking the last bit of the tire in the parking lot of the tire shop. That was part of his yellow arrow he had just painted. Lol

Sent while driving!

thats the last bit of the tire? sheeeeeeeeeet i has a solid 1-2" of thread showing on both inside on my rears before i let them die lol

also i'm not on spacers. wonder if it'll matter?

I normally drive above the posted speed limit, by a lot, so I don't like to chance tires.

as do i lol but i honestly didnt know right away that i had beat down my tires that bad :shakes head:

Hi,
I'm planning on getting Bridgestone Potenza S-04 Pole Position tires, can someone suggest a size for me? I have the 19" Rays.

I'd also leaning toward adding 15mm spacers in the front and 20mm in the back.

Thank you

305-30-19 rear
265-35-19 front
With spacers

Thank you for getting back to me. That seems to be the consensus on here after I researched a bit more.

I saw your picture of your rear tire, do you have a spacer installed on that?

so i'm gonna rephrase my original question.

do 265/305 combo in michelin PSS's work on sport rays with stock suspension and no spacers.

seems like everyone but me is running spacers.

Yes it will work. Because of the offsets of the wheels, they will look sunkin in without spacers.

well yes i realize that already since stock isnt flush lol

nor do i want flush but more or less will the tires fit well on sport wheels and not rub without spacers is my question.

was gonna go with 265/295 but the ratios for those seem to be a bit high over stock.

also im overthinking this which is rare for me since usually i'm a pull the trigger then see what happens kinda guy.

Yea 15mm front and rear. Front needs a 20mm in my opinion.

Sent while driving!

Yes yes and yes...
Spacers are just to get the flush with the fender look. They have nothing to do with tire width, normally, on the rear

Sent while driving!

good deal. noooooooooooooow the hard part. finding someone with them in stock or wait.

tirerack is 4/15 for 295 and 4/30 for 305s to come in

Call local shops. I found good deals dealing with mom and pops.

Sent while driving!

yea local shop the guy went full retard when i was trying to explain to him that there are 2 versions of the 265/35/19 in PSS's a mercedes one and a porsche one. and the porsche ones are oddle 1/2" wider than the merc ones. blew his mind.

also i think he comepletly screwed up the quote since when he showed me he had the rears listed for $560......each. TR is 330. wtf? lol

i think i melted his brain with 2 diff fronts being available.

Keep in mind you may wind up having to do a 15 or 20 on the front, just for rubbing issues at full turn lock

Thanks again.

that was part of why i asked lol

i think 265's up front should be ok without spacers. then again this isnt my realm of knowledge. obviously why i'm in here scrambling like a noob.

Youll be fine without spacers. People use them for looks more than for clearance.

good to know. knew the looks part but never was sure if it was a fitment help as well. not really looking for the herrafrush look personally lol

Its not so much herrafrush with the OEM wheels and mild spacers, just filling the wheel well gap. I had them on before I got real wheels and I would highly recommend them. Cheap mod for much better looks.

i know i just always like making a stance joke when i can lol take no offense to that one.

also i think i just blew this guy on tireracks mind lol

little help chat window came up while i was checkign tires and i said "well why not" told him i was going 265/305 on oem 370 sport wheels......he responded with "well thats a bit aggressive. also much more than we could ever advise" :stirthepot:

What's the best bet:

19x9.5 +12

19x11+15 (with 5mm spacer)

Swifts
SPL front and rear

Wondering tire sizes and camber to run :tiphat:

Go 265/35 - 305/30... I'm running on stock Rays with -1.4 in front & -2.1 in back. Also have camber kits F&R, 15mm/20mm spacers, with Swifts. Just had the tires put on last weekend & had alignment done to exact spec. I hated it, so I had some neg. put back in. I'm right on the line of being out of spec. but still in. Time will tell for wear, she handles way better now. I don't DD the Z so they should last awhile. Hope this helps somehow...

do you think i'll need to pick up a set of spacers running 265/305 on stock ride hright?

my tires are coming in this week.

Need to,...? It will look a lot better!
The back will clear, front should. Have you seen the recent pics in Meaty Tire thread of the guy with 345's? He's on stock suspension and 20's... he's clearing. But, his wheels are more offset or stick out more than yours. And I think he's got 5mm spacers on the back.
I'd put spacers on if it were me. I think 15mm on all 4 would look pretty good with 305's. I have about 5mm poke at the top with 20mm spacers. My 2 cents. What tires did you get?

haha yea i saw that. it looks sooooo mean lol

i couldnt get PSS's unless i waited 3-4 maybe 5 more weeks soooooo i went with RE-11's. in stock and cheaper.

265/35/19 and 305/30/19 should be here wednesday or thursday.

Nice... I wanted RE-11's. But had to go the even cheaper route S-04's. If you decide to go with spacers...The Z1 spacers are nice and from what I found the best for the money. I went with replacement stud type... Post pics when you get em on. BTW, I grew up in Harrisburg, PA.
