^^^ I like them also, I paid for em and I'm stickin' with em for a couple few yrs. I guess that after that I'll want to change the look of the car somewhat and will prob swap them out for some 20" matte black spoked-type wheels but I like to keep the car as it came for awhile. They are nice lookin' wheels, wish they would have went with 20" though.

I bought the tires to take advantage of a rebate on PSS that expires mid Sept, but I haven't mounted them yet. I still have decent tread on the current set, but for sure I'll mount them before a road trip I have in mid-Nov.

Who has PSS in stock and what coupon are you referring to? Thought they were on month+ back order.

I almost bought 4 potenza re11 (305/30 rear, 275/30 front) from discounttire Labor Day sale. The manager promised and confirmed me they will fit. But after inspecting my oem with 6500 miles, it still has over half life. I'm no slow driver either and over twelve 1/4 mile runs with burnouts.

Finally mounted these a couple days ago. No issues with rubbing. It's definitely a different look in terms of the oem size tires looking somewhat stretched. These protect the wheels much more from scraping. I like wider, looks more aggressive. BTW, I bought these on tirerack.com, I think it was late august and got the $70 rebate.

When you get the chance post some pictures of front and rear.

Thanks

I'm on 265/35/19 on my fronts right now with stock suspension and I can tell that the 275/30/19 isn't going to be an issue at all. At least not with the stock wheel offsets. If you start messing with the offsets then it could become a problem depending on how aggressive you get and also whether or not you are lowered. I am planning on going with 275/30 on my fronts and 305/30 on the rear when my Volks arrive.

One benefit to my current sizes is my speedo is almost perfect now since the tires are a little bit larger in diameter (.3" I think). When I'm at 80 my GPS sometimes shows 80 (79 otherwise). Before it always showed 78 when my speedo showed 80. But my Volk setup is a little bit smaller than stock, so my speedo will get worse.


Edit: I have 285/35 on the rear right now. In case anyone was curious.
