going to take more pics right now!

 

here you go!:

Front Tire (Perfect with 1/8 in overlap at highest point, 1/4 where tire sits on ground)

Rear Tire (Crude from behind and side of car)

Next 4: Rear Tire (where it sits on concrete, can see the lip width also)




Next 2 (Rear Tire Size)


Rear Tire (Fatness)

Next 2: Rear Tire, more clear pictures of where it sits (keep in mind this is an added 1/4 inch or so from the rest of the rim)


Front Tire (for comparisons sake)


All these that have the lip/ concrete on them were taken from the middle of the rim looking down at the ground... PM me for more/ bigger size pics.

PS, these are perfect, i wouldn't go 10mm smaller or bigger, these fit better than anything, and they ride perfectly... LOVE THIS SETUP!!!

 

Does anyone object about 275 on the rear? do you have any problems with the VDC turniing on? any problems at all? i'm in the market for tires and I was about to just go with 245 front and 255 rear like everyone has told me but after seeing this...wow. I'd consider these...

whats the update with your ride?

 

The issue is not VDC and TCS or any electronics. The issue is strictly wheel width. A 275/35/19 on an 8.5" wheel has tire bulge. It's evident in those shots. It's also not safe. However, it's your car, and your life. Do with it as you please.

NO problems and it looks badass!!! THere is not any tire bulge whatsoever (MAYBE 1/4") and if anything its insurance for not curbing the rim... i LOVE the look and all my friends are convinced they need to upsize to a 275 as well. TCS works, and BOY DO THESE BABYS STOP MY CAR!!! i went and did some testing, and they stopped it 60-0 WAY better than the stockers ever did.

SPARKNOTES: NO problems, looks badass, my policy is get what looks good on the rim, and a 275 is what looks the best!

 

those tires look beastly

 

Not safe in what way? if the rim holds the tire, wouldn't that be ok? Just curious.

 

although I don't necessarily agree with the OP, some manufacter's tires run smaller...for example, my Falken 451 285's were stretched on my 10.5 inch wheel.

 

those tires seem real wide for a narrow rim

 

just because you can do something doesn't mean you should...

 

how are those tires treating you?
thinking of purchasing a set through tirerack

 

Did this affect your car's roll at all? I'd imagine that the sidewalls aren't as stiff that much stretch.

 

i went to an autocross this weekend, and they gripped so much better than my previous ones. the kdw's are solid tires, so they dont roll like some cheaper tires might. i love them and would not change back to stock if they paid me to.

 

thank you, i know my **** im not a dumbass.... my potenza's are not the same size as my ps2's but the numbers are all the same... ps2 is little wider

 

i have 245/40/18 up front and 9.5" wide rims in the back and wanna run 285's should i get 285/35/18 or 285/40/18?

thats the biggest i wanna go and just because the rims are really wide
