Nice! You're going to like those treads! Slartibartfast was referring to those track NT05s, those extreme performance Summers can be pretty slick when wet once they get worn. The Michelin Pilots are very good in rain all the way to the wear bars, so no worry

Being a coupe I imagine he will be fine... should have a little bit more space back there then our sedan's. Personally I went with the S-04's, have about 3500 miles on them and have no complaints. I didn't want to wait on PSS backorder at the time.

Right you are Nico, coupe will have about 12-15mm more fender room, I was assuming sedan and had that in my head the whole discussion. Now I look back and see that pic link w/ that hot blue coupe, you could even run positive camber now

I still believe the 295 will be a better fit for his wheel... the idea of 305's in nice but you won't gain much, if any traction with the bulge

295s is a better mount on a 10, and with that extra hp of being boosted I'd be nervous about sidewall damage w/ a 305 on a 10 if you're really doing some pushing w/ that G.

Got em mounted up and on the car finally. Ended up going with just the Pilot super sports. The PS4's are seemingly almost impossible to obtain right now in the 295/30/20 size.

Thank you for the help blnewt! The fitment of these were absolutely on point.

Here are a couple pictures:

I've just gone through 10 pages and I give up.... I have an S sedan, looking to drop it on coilovers with 19s. I know how to choose offset and rim width to get flush.... just want to know what are the widest tires I can run without having to roll fenders or w/e. 255/285? I'm probably going to leave 1 finger gap all around.

Was running 295s in back on my zero-gap sedan, that was a 20x10+45.
I had a couple mm to the fender lip running camber at -1.0

Here's a link of that setup (i'm now running a square 18" setup)

Keep in mind the tires can run wider or narrower depending on brand and model. Most tire companies are good about listing their actual section widths so you can compare.

Thanks, that is good info. Do you have a link to your current setup? I was also thinking about running square so I could rotate tires.

Ok, I was part of the fat club, went to the square club but had to get back to fat, went from 245/45/18s all around to 285/40/18s in back all on 18x9.5 +38s

Anybody know of a company that makes a square setup close to 19x10.5 et0 or 19x10.5 -10 ? I can only find staggered setups or custom made wheels
