Tires:Toyo T1R 245/35 F 275/30 R
Rims: 8.5 35offset F/ 9.5 45offset R
Wheels: 51lbs F / 54lbs R (on my bathroom scale)
Got the package from D2autosports.
I think I could have gotten away with a fat tire set up 245/40F & 275/35 but it would have been close with drop.
When I weighed my OEM 18's they were at 50lbs each (on the same bathroom scale).

The ride is amazingly smooth. I was expecting a lot harsher ride due to teh low profile. I have the 43psi in each tire and it feels ever so slightly stiffer than the OEM 18's. But no tire squirm when you get on it coming out of a turn.

Now I'm looking for a comfortable 1" drop and some odds and ends and its a wrap

Thanks for the info. Looks like weight wise, there wasn't too much of a change over stock. Glad to hear that the ride didn't change much as I also have the sport package. I plan on getting the same tires with the fatter setup you posted, I don't plan on dropping me car right away so the fatter 40/35 setup will keep the stock gap versus the 35/30 setup which would be smaller than the stock diameter. Also get a pic from the back, i want to see how those meats look from behind. Thanks!

I definitely would not have 43PSI in each tire for daily driving. Max is 44-50 and that's only if you have a full car, trunk and all. I ran my 19's and now my 20's at 35PSI and its perfect.

At 43psi cold, when the tires warm up they'll be at about 48, which exceeds the maximum recommended psi, so i'd drop it down to atleast 38psi.

My Toyos have's a max psi of 50lbs. It was 28 degrees at 6am and 64 degrees by 2 pm this afternoon they went up 47psi. I'll continue to monitor as temps increase in the summer. May drop it pound or 2 or try nitrogen which deviates less. Yes I'm feak about tire pressure and making sure tires wear evenly.

Running too much PSI in the tires is going to wear the middle of the tread more than having even wear. Too little and the sides wear faster, that's why i suggested 35psi, i've put 35psi in every car i've worked on in the past 2 years. Its the perfect psi, not too stiff, not too soft. But i geuss if 43 works for you then it works for you
