What tire size and brand are you rolling on?
Mine is in my sig, 245/50/16 Falken ZE-512.
Not as wide as I thought they were gonna be. I remember seeing the 80's Camaro IROC-Z when I was in junior high and saying to myself that those were some wide tires. Nowadays 245's are skinny.

Michelin Hydroedge 225/60/16 NEVER AGAIN
I was running Michelin Energy MXV4 Plus before that and will run Michelin Primacy MXV4 tires when I am in a good financial position to buy them.

Ha ha definitely I don't need such a wide tire. It is definitely not a race car. When I bought the staggered fitment I wanted the rears to be wide. I saw an older guy with HRE's on his LS 400. The rears were even wider than mine. I thought it looked menacing and I wanted to do the same. They don't add noise or affect comfort. I have never heard the front or rear ever make a sound while cornering, etc. They just grip

Here are the sneakers. I used my video camera that has only a 2mega pixel photo quality so it is not entirely clear. When the car is loaded the tires tuck nicely with 1/8" between the fender and sidewall. If I could fit the 295's I would buy them but I don't want to fool with camber to make them tuck
