Wider and Thinner Tires on Sport Rims

u get better grip with 265/35/19 front and 305/30/19 which i hear is amazing with the re 11s.

Unfortunately it doesn't appear that the V12s are offered in that size for the fronts.

I was leaning toward the ideal setup, I just haven't decided yet if I wanted to max out and go as wide as possible.

Of course the ideal setup ends up adding a bit of sidewall which I don't really want.

We have steering wheels for a reason. ;-)

even the sport package wheels/tires exhibit tramlining. not something you want to increase by adding the wrong width tires.

Yep. As long as you're not trying to steer with your knees while drinking coffee and talking on your cell phone it's perfectly controllable.

Thanks guys, I decided to go with 255/40/19 front and 285/35/19 rear of the Ventus V12. Will get them put on this weekend.
