stock wheels? wider tires?

I have the stock sport pkg wheels and am running HandKook VENTUS V12 tires on all 4. The front tires are 255/35/19 and the rear tires are 305/30/19 and fit

I have the stock sport pkg wheels and am running HandKook VENTUS V12 tires on all 4. The front tires are 255/35/19 and the rear tires are 305/30/19 and fit with no issues at all. You could probably go a little wider but taking into consideration side wall height ratio between front and back, and the tire staring to stretch i think a 265/305 combo would be the widest. The staggered setup widths is subjective to your preference but as long as you keep the side wall profile close to the same height it should look proportional. If you put something like a 275 in the front it may start to rub in turns, but have a search around the forum, you will see what others are running.

Are you running spacers in the rear?

Yeah, I added 20mm H&R Trak spacers purchased from Stillen a month after I added the 305's in the rear.
I have spacers for the fronts but have not installed them yet.

So you didn't need the spacer to run the 305's?

No the spacers had nothing to do with the fitment of the 305 rear tires. The 305's fit perfect with or without the spacers. Good luck, put some pics up when you get them...
