Went a bit bigger than what I had before. Same wheels, larger tires in the rear.
19X9.5 +12 with 255/35's
19X10.5 +12 with 295/30's
It's gonna need a little more pulling and some slight camber adjustments after looking at it on the ground. Shouldn't be too bad though. I'll get some finished pics of it up when it's all done.

I'm going fat tire... tired of the stretched look plus I'm aiming at 500whp, so I need more grip.
My wheels are: 18x10 +18 (all around)
-Tires
Front: Sumitomo HZR III 265/35/18 F, no spacers
Rear: Sumitomo HZR III 265/35/ 18 R, 15mm Spacers ( I think, but it sits flush)
-Replacement Tires
Front: Nitto NT-05 265/35/18 F
Rear: Nitto NT-05 285/35/18 R
Spacers: ???
The ideal set-up I was going for was:
255/40/18 F (3mm spacer)
275/40/18 R (10mm spacer)
However, I have a set of NT-05s with barely any use in my storage unit, and I see no reason why not to try them first before ordering 4 new tires >.<. I'd like to stay flush, and I know that the profile in the front tires will be very similar (tho I'm hoping the nT-05s look meatier on the front). Any spacer recommendation for rear? 10mm?

gs400speed23- Appreciate it sir. My tires stick out past the fender on the rear and is the same setup you have. Yours being 275 and mine 285 should have that much a difference but again I am not on coilovers just yet.
Thanks again. NOW BACK ON WITH THE PICS!!! HAHA

For everybody running 255/35/19 and 285/35/19 are you guys having any TCS/VDC issues? Based on tire calculator the difference is 3.1% (just over the recommended 3%).
Seems like it would be better to run 285/30/19 since the difference is only around 1%?

You can't do that because the 285/30 is shorter than the 255/35. 285/35 is taller than the 255/35. Regardless, the 255/285/35 combo is great. We have been running on the wife's 07' for a long time now. Her 04' was a lot more sensitive to the rules than her 07' has been. I bet the programming is different.

How do you like the AD08's? They seem to run a bit wider than regular 255's dont they?
