I'd run at least 275 up front, no need to stagger much, we don't make enough torque to notice it. My next will be the largest re-71r they make, I think 285 now

I believe he was speaking to 285's being too wide for stock sport rays wheels not for the car itself.

I know people who have thrown a 305 up front without issue.

OP I'm on my second set of 265/305 RE11 setup on stock sport rays and love it. third set will be purchased soon as well.

Not yet. I went to an auto X event but the old guys thee weren't overly fond of my exhaust so I didn't participate after a few choice words.

Been on the dragon many times with this setup and it's amazing. If you know what the dragon is then you know how demanding it is of your tires. I rolled a pss there and switched to re11 so much better.
