I'm also interested with these Hankook tires, and I plan to get 255/35 and 285/30 with the Volks on the way. I also notice 305/30 for the same price, so I wonder if 255/35 and 305/30 would make sense (with VDC).
What size Volks did you order? 19" or 20"? Just in case you ordered the 20" Volks, the Hankook 305 rears come in 305/25. I didn't see a 305/30 in the 20" tire UNLESS you ordered the 19" Volk wheels. Then the Hankook come in a 305/30 rear in 19". Just FYI that's all. Good wheel choice!

Thank you! Here it is:
GTS 19X9.5 +40 5-114.3 FORMULA SILVER
GTS 19X10.5 +8 5-114.3 FORMULA SILVER

The front wheels require KICS 10MM WIDE SPACER 12X1.25 / 5-114.3
up front. So my initial setup is 255/35 and 285/30. I just wonder if I can get 255/35 and 305/30 (same price as 285/30) with these wheels, and whether VDC would like it. My car is at stock height, and I have no plans to drop it.
