Well I will be putting 285/35 in rear. But don't want to have to buy new spacers. Anyone have this setup with no issues? Also, hearing good things about the Bridgestone r-11?! Anyone try both tires? Use car as daily driver. May track it this year.

Once broken in they're noisey as fúck. You were warned

Which ones are noisy??? R11s or Michelins?

R-11's

You mentioned RE11s, I'm referring to RE11s

Michelin doesn't really make noisy tires besides maybe their cup tires

Thanks! Going with Michelins then :)

After replacing my OEM Rays for a set of AG wheels and leaving the extended studs on the hub, I thought of selling my 20mm spacers. Glad I did not. I'm also glad I kept my OEM lugs. I could not find open ended shank style lugs to hold my spare (I figured you would need shank style lugs for your spare). I needed the spacers and OEM lugs to make sure my spare would fit and hold.

That's good to know.

I guess I'll be keeping mine, and throwing the lugs and a spacer in with the spare tire, just in case.

Michelins PS2 better than Michelin PSS????

thats not wat tirerack says.... ?

Ya just did some googling and not what I'm seeing either. Why the hell would anyone buy PS2s?!? Way more expensive

might be oem tires? like RE050A's you can buy them, costs more, but not as good as the S04's... kinda.

spacers
 

What do these actually do? Is it for looks or does it improve traction? someone explain in a nice informative way.. THANKS

For Jimbo:

Mainly looks.
But since you widen your vehicle's stance (for lack of a better word) you increase grip in the corners. Disadvantage is that you make your turning circle smaller.

I don't think 99.9999% of us notice the last 2 things

At first thought, I would have said that stud replacement spacers are far stronger and durable than the bolt on type. But reading the above, the way you put it, I want to change my opinion on the situation.

I was sold on only doing this using the stud replacement type spacer but now that I read it this way, it looks like the bolt on might be the better choice.

Which is the better choice from a durability standpoint and not just an "easy install" point of view?

Seems to me that the fewer mechanical connections holding the wheel to the hub the better, but now I'm second-guessing that idea.

I tend to break things that I drive and I don't want my wheels to be the weak link.
