Default Gettign Tires....Need advice....Please.

I am going to get the Bridgestone Pole Position S03s within a few weeks to mount to my HREs.
I want to ask about what you guys think of getting them from Tirerack.
Will it be easier to get them from a shop in my area incase there are problems?
That is my biggest hangup.

Also, for sizes.
Will 285s fit in the rear?
I see some people with this size listed.
Is there a chance of rubbing?
Should I just get the 275s?

Any help is appreciated (esspecially from people with these same tires).

Thanks
MIKE

I used 285/35/18 tires on the rear and had no rubbing problem at all.

Mike,

I am ordering S03s for my new HREs. I have spoken to several people who rave about the S03s, and having been an avid S02 owner, I am looking forward to trying them out.

As far as rubbing, three things really effect that... tire size, wheel size (width), and wheel offset. In general, a stock suspension GS400 on 285s will be fine.
