yes if you are trying to keep oem specs.... buttttt since i am super low and the wheels width and offset wise i am about to run are pushing it on the limits so to fit a little better i went down .5 front and rear on sidewalls. i will read a little high on the speedo but whatever....
youll be running lower than what is on the speedo. if you are going 60, you are actually going around 57 with 245/35 275/30
good year does not make a street legal R compound tire that compairs to the stone. I am not a fan of the F1's at all. dunlops are ok but not something i would personally run. the thing is if your worried about wear these are not the tires for you. Most people are seeing between 6k-9k for these tires... most on the lower side
cool thanks..not worried about wear just want grip. they only make those sizes for th RE01R? cant find other aspect ratio for 19s

Reason: tire sizes
^^^ I think its the Gram Light 57S-Pro with Titan lip if I remember right
thats one set i ordered. they sent me G35 offsets so i had to re order those. I'm still like 50 days out on those. These are completely different wheel...
how would it read faster? if its going to go faster, your tires sizes would be like 245/45.
because the tire is shorter therefor it spins faster. when going say 60mph the smaller tire will be rotating faster then the taller tire. so even though you are still going 60 its going to say you are going like 63-65. trust me my friend i have done this on many cars. the speedo reads faster
it may seems like you are going faster but the speedo will read like 57.
dude are you completely wrong. its not a matter of seeming like i am going fast. i am not going fast or slower. i am doing the same speed. 60mph is 60mph. but the speedo will read fast like 65mph because the smaller height tire spins faster and rotates more then a taller tire. there for it make the speedo read faster then you are going. i dont know what you are making your judgment on but you are wrong. i have years of experience doing this on many cars. My M3 i had a taller rear tire then oem and my speedo read slow. it said i was going slower then i was. It would read 57 and when i would go by one of those radar machines i would be going like 60. read above there is already another member who states these sizes read faster....
