I had some tyres test fitted and dropped the car to the ground from another shop today.

This is with 285/30R19 on the rear:

And this is the front with 255/35R19 on the front:

I like the look of the rear tyre but I didn't like the meaty look of the front. So they suggested I run 245/35 or 235/35 on the front. They also suggested to me to lpwer the car about 1 inch, it will naturally camber the wheels in, and that I should run a bit more negative camber.

They said I shouldnt run expensive tyres because that will chew through em. I said I will be chucking TT on this soon so I will need to run some good tyres!

So I hope I can get away without running any camber!

Your front 255 tires seem narrow for the 9.5 wheels. curious if your front wheels are wider than 9.5??

Assume you on stock suspension? If so lowering should help

No issues with the breaks I assume. Doesn't look too bad. And looks like you found a shop that seems to know what they are doing. You should drive by the other place once you get it all dialed in and show them how it's done.

We spun the front wheel and could not hear or see any issue with the brakes. But the mechanic still wasn't sure if it was clearing it because he said it looks extremly close to the brake and hasn't seen it that close before on any wheel/car.

And yes I am on stock suspension, stock height atm. They said they can lower it for $700 (about $500USD). Wondering if should just get coilovers myself and get them to install it.

Which springs are they intending to use?

shadow85 03-25-2017 12:56 AM

I didn't ask them.

Why 285/30? Should go with 285/35 on da rear.

Da lower profile u run da lower ur ride needs to be to look right.
Remember da rule.. wheel gap to be 1/2 of sidewall or less unless u run mild offsets

Dose are not mild offsets

I don't really wanna go bigger sidewall, already looks meaty az to me. I want lower profile look if possible.

I would recommend you find out, so you can research them.

OptionZero 03-25-2017 02:45 PM

that actually looks bigger than a 285/30 to me

might just be the angle of the photos, but front and rear tires look like monster truck status

shadow85 03-25-2017 06:48 PM

Yeah they do look big! I may drop to 245/35 and 275/30

Sound's like you're set on a 26" tire (+ or -) and you want good ones?

Look at the spec on the 275/30,295/30/19 PS4S's....section 10.9/11.9 & tread 9.7/11.1 & diameter@25.6/26.0"
They would give you an even fit on the wheel's & a slight rake.

jchammond 03-25-2017 07:38 PM

The rear tire's you tested looked like PS2's,,,unsure what the front's are;almost look like winter tire's?
