For some reason the drivers side sticks out a little more than the passenger side. Camber is dead on... just had alignment done.

This is 305's with 20mm H&R DRS spacers. Most likely going to go down to a 15mm. I can't imagine 305's with 25mm.... Would look stupid in my opinion.

Looks good man!:tup:

Seriously?... When's the last time you saw a high horsepower car running around with "grippy" 245's?

E46 M3 had Pilot Sport 255. 350Z had 235 pr 245 pr 255, depending on the model. RS4 had 255.

It's not just the size, compound is even more important.

Thanks for the feedback, I am leaning now towards the 265/35/19 & 285/35/19 on 19" sport rims.

Agreed, drivers side does look like it sticks out more....tires maybe. That would be the max I would want mine to stick out. I am not one for the flush look, as long as the tires do not look goofy then I am good with a little buldge. It gives it the "something is happening in the rear look". My 275/35/19 rears look a little more tucked at the top and I am running -1.0 camber so they are pretty straight up. Your photos and setup give me a good idea how my 25mm spacers will look on 285/35/19. Thanks for posting up these pics. I agree the 15mm will look better on your 305.

I noticed your sig has spacers listed in reverse order? 25mm / 20mm
What size spacers are you running up front?

Need to change sig.

Was running 25mm rears / 20mm fronts... Ichiba bolt-ons.

Then i went to the H&R DRS spacers that replaced the studs and went to 20mm all around.

PITA swapping out spacers.

ok so im going for 255's up front and 285's rear. i wanna drop the car by 1.2" and also wanna add spacers to my stock rays. can anyone recommend me the best spacers and should i go with 20mm front and 15 back? i want the car to have an aggressive profile but also retain handling and performance. dont just wanna go for looks. thank you.
