Guys with Sport Wheels, Post up the tire sizes you have switched to.

275/30s up front 305/30s rear v12s with 15mm fr/20mm swift springs

Footloose301 · 08-24-2011, 08:01 AM

I'm going with RE-11's in the next couple days. For sure going with 285's in the back but it's a toss up between 255/265 for the fronts. Leaning towards 255's

My tires are getting installed this Sat. RE-11's 265F 285R

A lot of guys running wider tires up front. Have any of you noticed any vibration (in the steering wheel) due to a wider tire?

Footloose301 · 08-24-2011, 11:23 AM

^^reduced gas mileage

Looking at the stock 245's it seems a 265 is a bit too wide and would be sloppy.....? The rear's almost looked stretched with 275's and would be cured with a 285. I definitely think I'm doing 255/285's.

I had RE-11s with 265s up front and 285s in the rear with no problems. I am no longer on the stock wheels but will stay at 265s in the front and move to 305s in the rear...

Why did you decide to go up to 305?

Kirkster · 08-24-2011, 12:21 PM

lack of traction with the SC installed...

V8Killer · 08-24-2011, 12:49 PM

Ya looking at your mods it is what I assumed.

Just went to 285/35/19s all around. Stock Sport wheels, stock suspension. No spacers. Feels great on the street; haven't been able to get to the track or AutoX yet so no great feedback yet. No complaints about road manners here with the wider fronts.

I went with the board favourite, Bridgestone Potenza RE-11's in 265/35 front and 285/35 rear.
I'm lowered on Swift springs and running H&R spacers, 20mm rear and 15mm front.

255's were out of stock so I just placed an order for 265's

red6spd · 12-13-2011, 07:06 AM

So guys with RE-11's. How are the tires holding up? I understand that thread life is much shorter with tires like these but I'm also not a fan of spending $1300 every year and a half to two years.

Mine still look like new with 5k on them....
