OK thanks,

If you go this route; then you could put 25mm spacers on rears-to have them out at fender edge w/front’s.
May want to test fit your rears on the front first before diving in,,,I know it would handle the Dragon better.

So do I find used rear rims or matching reps? And where to find?

I'd go 245/40,285/35's on the Sport wheels (26.7",26.9") a slight rake & you can still rotate side to side.

As long as the tires aren't directional.

Search the forum,,,used wheels in great shape sold all the time.
I'd still test fit one of your rear's on the front & be sure it's to your liking.

From a financial or longevity standpoint i don't see how the PSS is your choice. They are neither cheap nor long lasting. With minimal abuse and proper maintenance you may get 35k out of them. Unless you are getting these for cheap (old stock) i don't think that is the optimal choice.

The nitto invo rides better, cost less and get the same amount of mileage.

Not the prettiest tire but the BFgoodrich comp2 have the best longevity for a high grip street tire and work better than most tires in the rain and cold.

PPS's are being phased out for the PS4S. There are deals to be had in some sizes.

I ran, on stock sport wheels a 255 front and a 305 rear no problems, ran Hankook V12's good price, good ware on them, 20,000 kms I would get the rears switched side to side, like pulled off the rims and swapped, good for another 20k.

I am running PS4S on Stock Rims 19
Front 265 / 35 R19
Rear 295 / 30 R19

I am total happy with these

I ran a slightly bigger rear on the PSS 305, and got about 23K on them,
so was not upset by the mileage,

Also depends on what you mean by budget, my PS4S were about 1550.00

I highly recommend RE-11's. I am running 265/35/19 and 285/35/19 on sport rays. Excellent handling with a stiff front bar and loose rear. Not a fan of 3 size difference staggers.

Yellowwolf 11-13-2017 07:18 PM

Will the square setup on sport rays clear the stillin brake ducts?

Yellowwolf 11-18-2017 01:15 PM

Well today I jacked one side of the car up and swapped the rear to the front, gotta say it's not as big as a difference as I thought it would be! Square setup here I come!

Yellowwolf 11-18-2017 01:32 PM

Well crap, I was putting the wheels back on in the proper places and found a nail in my rear tire, lol

Look at the bright side: better now than later.

Yellowwolf 11-18-2017 04:11 PM
