^^Yup...I am running 265/35 & 285/35
20/25 spacers ! The look is worth a double look !!

They look and fit much better than stock sizes. A size that Michelin SS Pilot do not come in, so you are pretty much stuck with the stock sizes.

Note that the sidewall profile is not a constant, and shouldn't necessarily be the same front to rear since it is expressed as a percentage of the width. If the widths are different then often the optimum sidewall size will be too. Easy way, just look at the overall tire diameter for each size on Tirerack.com and look for two sizes that have the same height and are close to stock height.

265/35 fronts
305/30 rears

20mm spacers all around will give you a perfect fitment and yes, this is on sport rays.

With 265/35 your front will be lower so keep that in mind.

Default Tire pressure??
What tire pressure are you guys running on these tires? mine are set at 40 psi and that is what Discount tire inflated them to upon installation. That seems a bit high to me so I was wondering if there were recommendations.

Hummm....wonder if your elevation (mile high city) has any bearing on recommended tire pressure. Anyone...

Just installed my 265/305 RE-11's and I'm lovin it.
All the rants and raves about how the tire rides and handle is true. Now I'm curios on how it's gonna do at the track..
Thanx for everyone's input and reviews on this thread. Especially the one that started it. I'm a believer now!
