Anybody running these with no issues?
I've looked at calculators. People have ran 305/35/19 and the 295/40 would be the same height overall

275,295/35's should be fine,,,just under 2%.
un-sure the maximum without getting Christmas tree effect...as mine are just under 2% with no problem's.
I've heard 3% was max differential,but not confirmed.

Here's mine:

Wheels: F 18x9.5+22 R 18x10.5+12 Gram Lights 57Xtremes in matte graphite
Tires: F 255/40/18 R 285/35/18 Michelin PSS
Suspension: stock for now

My thoughts so far: I am glad I went 255/40, 285/35s. I feel that 245/275 would be too much of a stretch on 9.5/10.5 wheels (not sure how other members seem to use that setup, as a lot of your wheel lip would be completely exposed

). Even now I feel I could go wider for my next set of tires (or use like 0.5" narrower wheels for anyone considering 245/275). Just IMO.

Beautiful wheels.

I have the same color and specs as you, but run the 19s and absolutely love the way they look.

It's not the difference for stock, it's the difference from front to rear I believe. Why not just run 265/40 295/35

Thanks!

Love the way it looks with the stock suspension. I always thought that going with lower profile tires and 18's the gap with the fender would be worst but it looks great as is.

Gregor12 · 07-20-2017, 04:16 PM

Enkei rpf1
18x8.5 +30 255/45
18x10.5 +15 285/40
No pacers
No rubbing
Stock suspension (for now)

After suspension is upgraded I will probably run 295/35 and 265/40 or 255/40

You gonna have to turn that boost up to the Hi setting,
With 1260mm of rubber on the road-you go need it.
