Default 255/35 and 285/30 on stock rims??

I installed hankook Ventus in these sizes on my stock 2008 rims. I am wondering if anyone has done the same sizes in pilot sports on stock 2012 rims? Thanks!

I put 285/30/19 on RCF wheels and they would rub if I hit a bump on the road. I have stock 2012 suspension.

RCF wheels are 10" wide and have 41 offset. ISF wheels are 9.5" and 50 offset.

I think Lou (flowrider) had that size, but Bridgestone S04, on the 08-10 wheels with no problems or complaints. There shouldn't be issue on the 2012+ wheels either. Those would probably be my goto for that size. If you want PSS you'll need 275/30 or 275/35 (unless you actually got the runflats). You do get wider tread (comparable to most 285 size tires) on the 275/30 PSS.

^^^^I did, and the Bridgestone S-04 combo worked fine for me, and for another ISF owner neighbor of mine. I started a thread about it. However, at least one forum member tried the combo and was very vocal about his dislike of it. I ran 245/35 front and 285/30 rear on stock '08 wheels.

Now, I'm running RCF wheels (9s & 10s) with S-04s in 255/35/19 and 295/30/19 and the extra wheel width and tire heft make it that much better.

My Old wheels and tires are now on an IS-350 with no complaints from the owner.

^^I tried that combo 255/285 on stock 08 wheels and I did not like it one bit. It drove fine on straights but upon hard cornering, it really sucks.

^^^^Yes, I would expect an issue with 255s on an 8" wheel. As I said, the 245s in front worked for me.

Yeah tires were probably bulging over the rim. Tire sidewalls were weak and it probably felt like that boaty feeling around corners. Tires were too wide for rim width

So I installed the OEM 255's from the rear onto my front rims and installed the 285's on the rears. They actually fit really well with minimal side wall bulge. Handling is perfect and rear grip from a start is not nearly as unsure as with the 255's. 255/285 combo on stock 2012 wheels<br ><br > <br >

^^^^What make and model are your tires. I can see the fronts are Michelin - PS2s? IMO, especially with a performance tire it is not a good idea to mix differing brands and models of tires front to rear.

Tires have different construction and the handling characteristics may be adversely affected when tires are mixed,

Looks great! Exactly what I'm planning on for mine, now I can see what it will look like.

The rears look a lot more flush with the wheel arches, are you running on spacers?

No spacers, just stock rims. Rears are MICHELIN pilot sport Zp run flats off the front of a zr-1.

Thanks, looks like I'll be saving a few $$ by not having to buy spacers!
