The stock diameter's are 26.9" and 26.5", the goal is to try and stay close to these values.

The RE-11 255/35 is too short at 26.0", the 265/35 is a bit closer at 26.3".

I don't have specs on the 285/35 but I'm estimating it to be roughly 26.7". The size differential would be roughly the same as stock in this case.

That was my point with going with the 255/40s since that gives you just a bit over 27" diameter. I am considering hankook v12's which you can get in this since. Not sure about the RE11's. The 255/35s are too small and I though that may affect the performance, since the front wheels will essentially spin more than the rears. Anyways, that was my question... and two cents.
