All other tire manufactures say something like "35,000 miles" or something.
Tread rating is 280. I don't know the exact conversion but probably 20 to 30k or less. I have a set of michelin's that have an 800 rating and were rated for 90k I believe. I know that's crazy. My currect tires are rated for 340. 280 is common for high performance tire. Some tires have low tread even when brand new, like 8/32nds instead of 11/32nds.

New wheels..........
Those wheels look great on your OB sedan........good choice! Just a word of
caution, before you buy tires find out what the ratings are. I made the mistake of buying Bridgestone poles for my last car without knowing. They
were rated at 140 and only lasted 10K miles at a cost over $1K. And yes,
these tires had the best traction wet or dry but the cost wasn't worth it.

Few questions:
Do you experience any rubbing? If not, did you have anyone in the backseat?
I was told I cannot fit 10" widths in the rear without rubbing on our sedans

Another user is getting a set of dpe R07s built in 20 x 10. They should be test fitted soon. I'm sure they'll weld up your 19" LS5 at the same time.

What width did you end up with? The LS5 is a two piece wheel (nice choice BTW ). What they do is a test fit first BEFORE final assembly, get the offset, then have the wheel face welded to the barrel section. The key to getting good fit is picking the correct offset.
