Are you running 235/40's and 265/40s? or 35?

Can't wait to see them on...looks great.

Rahtok,

What tire sizes are you running as far as profile, 35?, 40?, or 45? I like your the way your wheels look way better then the 35's I have. It's no big deal these will work for now but a larger side wall will look much better for sure in my case.

These are 35's front and rear, and they do not fill the wheel well very well. I am sure it won't be long until I need new tires so I will go with a 40 or 45 side wall for sure when they need to be replaced.

I will def be very careful in the rain, if I drive them at all in the rain. Here is a very ruff picture I took tonight, the car is still dirty I need to clean it tomorrow.

How much did you get those for? I like those, especially with those tires!!!

I got 19" bronze CE28N's...love how they look, but now, I kind of wish I got 18's since I'm starting to take my car on the track. 19" tires are more expensive and the tire selection is more limited.
The bidding ending at 2100, I paid 2165 with shipping, it was a very good deal cause it came with the center caps powder coated Rays valve stems, powder coated lug nuts for each wheel, and tires. The tires are not exactly what I wanted as far as profile goes but like I said it won't be long untill I need new ones any way. My BS potenza SO 3's that are on my factory 18's are bald on the rears with only 7K on them!! So these are an even softer compound so I sure they will be ready to be replaced sooner then later.

does anyone know the exact torque lb feet for this car? I torqued the fronts at 85 pound feet and the rears at 90. Does that sound right?

I've got 245/40 and 275/40 T1-S's.

Been pleased so far, but have heard of brutally low mileage from them (~15k) so we'll see how they hold up. On the plus side though, they've been good in the rain we've had up here for the last few days.

I am at work now and it’s raining! I should have driven the TL today but I thought that the rain would hold off until later tonight. Anyway this will be my first experience with these P Zero Corsa's in the rain. I know these tires are not the best for rain, but on dry roads I have never experienced traction like these tires provide!, plus with the smaller diameter in the rear my acceleration feels slightly quicker.

Default Nice Choice!

NICE!! I decided to go with bronze LMGT4s also, but will be running Kuhmo MX tires. You have any better pictures of your car with the wheels on. Is your suspension still stock?

here are links to my pics, the wheels have 265/35/18s on them so the car looks like it needs to be lowered. I will soon have 275/40/18s on the rear and 245/40/18 on the front
