Wasn't those I don't think. I had 4-5 sets of low run tires.

Mother of god.

That makes my 315 R1S's look like bicycle wheels.

Thoughts on 285/30/19 front & 305/30/19 on 19x9.5/10.5+22. Also couldn't find a definitive answer but Falken fk453 vs Bridgestone Pole Position s-04?

The front will really need a wider wheel. If you need the traction, just run a smaller tire that is sticky.

Solid advice, I plan to run a smaller width tire when I move down to an 18" wheel. Was going to run this street driven on my LE37's as my kdws are almost boogered. Are you suggesting something like a 295 or square 305?

Also any recent pictures of your car? i havent seen anything since the ppe thread.

I have 275/30/19 F and 305/30/19 R. Drives real nice and decent traction with boost. I am using Hankooks V12's.

Dude I wouldn't even put fake wheels on a Honda. I'd like to know that going over a bump is not resulting in the wheel shattering and me hitting something or someone. You might say it's a small number of people, they were going too fast, manufacture reissued better wheels, blah blah blah. Bottom line is I'd trust a wheel that is certified and passed testing standards, there might be a lemon in the bunch but the chances there are much lower than the chances on knock off wheels.

Tire Size's

old to the forum but havent posted yet. Quick question for you guys, I am new to the tire fitment game and was wondering, did you guys recalibrate your speedos? if so how? because I am running 275/35r18 on rear and 255/35r18 on front and I need to be going 77 to register 70 on a calibrated radar gun (glad I am a cop and have that toy.) When I looked it up I really could not find anything on how to re-calibrate the speedo.
