Looks good, but from the first pics, the sidewall of the rear tires look kinda meaty. I would probably go with 285/35s too, but 285/30s might be more aesthetic.

From the closeups with the brakes though, it looks fine.

Nope, still on stock suspension. I only have a Hotchkis front swaybar.

285/30's would have been too short for VDC, you have to do 295/30 just to get the same rear height as the front 255/35 but you still have no stagger.

I like your style. Classy.

I want to get Mercury Silver TE37's or LE37's.

What is the difference between the two?

The TE37s are available in Merc Silver whereas the LE37's weren't. Mercury Silver is lighter/brighter than the silver of the LE37Ts. As others have already pointed out, LE came with diamond cut lip (polished). I really wanted Merc Silver LE37Ts but they required a really special order.

+12 makes the spokes more concave, but the lips remains the same size. either way it looks good, but just like stated above you need a drop asap. 4x4 kills it.

Looking to replace my 245/275 setup with the PS2's and the same sizes as yours 255/285. Any feedback from a perfomance perspective of the sizes and your thoughts on the PS2's

I love the PS2s. I've taken them on the track for several track days and of course, daily drive them in temps from 30º to 100º and in the rain. They are top notch in all conditions. The only downside is that they are pricey.

The grip on the track is incredible, I really never worried about them breaking loose unpredictably.

The 285s might require you to roll the rear fenders. My first set cleared fine, the second set ran a little wider and scraped going over big bumps.

cool.. My concern with the 285's was understeer. I was debating to go with 255/275 combo instead. Still staggered but closer to a square setup

I have 9.5" in the rear and I thought a 285 on a 9.5 was not advised. Looking at the michelin site though they say the 285 is ok on a 9.5"

I was thinking you have 9½/10½". 9½" is the smallest size wheel recommended for the 285/35/19 PS2. It will fit but it will be squeezed on there.
