How Does This Sound?
I'm coming up on 30k miles and about time for new tires. I plan on going with 20mm front spacers and 25mm rear spacers in the future (might just do it when I have the wheels off to mount the tires).
I'm looking at the Hankook Ventus V12 evo with 285/35/19 in the rear and 255/40/19 for the front. All 4 are $790 on Tire Rack. Seem like a good setup with spacers and all? The car is stock height and I don't plan on lowering it so I don't think rubbing would be an issue.

I have 15's up front and 20's in the rear in terms of spacers with the same tires just lowered I will extend the invite again like with the sway bars if you would like to come and look at the setup you are more than welcome to.

I think I need to do that to get a good look at the spacers! I'm getting my car tuned on the 22nd...Jordo is going to be there if you wanted to swing by.

I will be betting new rims soon. if you are interested, and can wait a few more weeks, I will sell you mine cheap. You will need longer studs for the fronts though.

With your tire setup, the 255/40/19 will be .3" taller than stock (stock is 245/40, correct?) and the 285/35/19 will also be .3" taller than stock, so that's a wash. Sounds good to me.

Right now I'll be in Ybor City until 5:00 and then back home to Land O' Lakes. Wanna swing by next week maybe (I would think it's short notice for today). Thanks for all of the responses guys! Seems like Tire Rack has them the cheapest...even with shipping. I was looking at the Nitto Invos, but they are about $400 more.

get 20mm front and back and call it good. you can get the bolt on types and DIY for cheap if you get 20 for the front.

If I am not mistaken the bolt on ones going that large have a tendacy to break and if you are planning on going on a track I believe they are not allowed. I personally went with the larger studs to prevent such issues and have a piece of mind.

UpRev tune.
Yeah...I won't be tracking my car but I don't want to have to worry about studs breaking off.
