Not me, that is zero's car, he is on KW V3's. I'm just guessing on how low he is, but it doesn't look like he is rubbing.

With 285/35/19 up front any rubbing or fitment issues?

The front 245/40's was 26.7 and the 255/35's are 26.1, a bit more than the rears, but still not as noticeable as you claim.

Don't forget that while he did decrease the aspect ratio he also increased the width, which makes the change to overall diameter not as dramatic.

Also, just out of curiosity what size tire do you think he should have changed to? There aren't exactly a ton of options for changing tire size to a wider tire while maintaining the exact same overall diameter. It's only going to be "close".

And to keep the thread on track... here are some shots of my "meaty" tires
285/35/19's ... up FRONT and 305/30/19's in the rear

Does anybody know if 285/30/18 will fit on the rear base rims?

I would not squeeze a 285 on a 9" rim as the minimum recommeneded is 10" wide wheel. It'll fit but there will be a lot of sidewall and slack and the car will feel sloppy. it won't look much wider but it will look bulky from the side view.

More than the setups with 305s in the rear with 3-4 degrees camber!!:stirthepot:

I got less camber than that with 345s.

It's all about the offsets. I am just saying!

sh1t looks dope, and i know you got the tt power, but dont you think all that added unsprung weight is killing speed? stickier 305/315mm nitto nt05 or nt01 tires could easily outmatch the invo's and give better feel and response. it was quite a difference of weight feel, especially on roll off whenever i put on my winter wheels on that are 32lb less total in unsprung weight compared to stock. im not bashing, just saying

Just picked up some Michelin PS2. 305/30/19. :yum:

Yum is right. 255 35 19 and 305 30 19 Pilots ride great. Wheels picked up today too. Can't wait to install;

Thanks man! Yep, just shipped them off today to the new owner. :(

They're going to a good home though... a black Nismo in San Antonio TX. Can't wait to see them on his car!

What sizes specs are the new ones? Volk RE30 I'm guessing?
