Evo v12's vs stock rubber

Hey everyone, im thinking of purchasing some evo's 275/35/19 and 245/40/19 based on the decent reviews ive read on here...

my question is in regards to the profile of these vs stock...
Im lowered on eibachs and have spacers (too cheap to buy new wheels ) and while not as aggressive as many of you on here i like the fit/look of the stocks in the wheel well...

i believe the stocks have a more "tapered" look to them regarding the profile...whereas the v12's seem more "squared"...can anyone confirm this or are they very similar? Trying to preserve same look....

thanks!

Hankook's are a little more of a square set. The stock tires are a smaller width then the Hankook sizes you posted and the hankook's sidewall is a little more square to begin with. The stock bridgestones sidewall is more curved. I had 275 245's on stock wheels on coils and I loved the look. You will be fine.

They are a tad more squared off, which gives the B-Stones better cornering grip cause of their rounded shoulder. The B-Stone can also be rotated left/right due to their asymmetrical design. The V12 will last a tad longer and does better in the wet. Price is nicer also.
