After sifting through dozens and dozens of pages on the correct wider tire sizes for the OEM IS-F wheels I finally found what I think is the most right answer. I just ordered some 245/35 & 275/30 Pilot Super Sports.
I got too many low offers to think about selling this car, it's not worth it for me to take such a major hit after what I've invested into it. So it'll likely be staying with me at this point.
I've got my eyes on that RR ECU tune and tuned intake to make some more HP.

Thanks to Josh at Meraki and Rafi at RR I had a nice package waiting for me when I came back from Vegas late last night.
Tune + tuned intake + AOS + titanium elbow
I'll post the final install pics and my impression, but for now I'm seeing how much I can get done before the BBQ'ing starts. I had to dig out my dinosaur of a PC since I switched to a MacBook a while ago.
Happy 4th of July everyone!

I know it isn't super HQ but here's a couple of pics. Still deciding if I think it was worth the price for the gains.
Looks GREAT
Sounds GREAT (made my car WAY louder, which I love)
Some increased response, but I haven't fully broken it in
EDIT:
After around 80 or so miles I noticed a LOT more power vs. the first 2 miles when I initially tuned it. Still have some driving to do but so far I'm thoroughly enjoying this intake and tune.

Alright it's been a few days. The power this car has now is insane, it's like a whole different car. It doesn't fall off and it has way more bottom end, very happy with the results and there's probably still some more learning for the ECU to do.
Don't base your judgement on the first few miles after the tune, it really does take a while to learn but boy, when it does........

I posted it for sale again, probably for real this time. I don't drive it enough with the rental from the dealership and I've gotten used to driving a boring car. Probably going to downsize and buy a cheaper car for a while.
I drove it again today for the first time in a few weeks, I still love this car but just don't need the performance at the moment.
Price seem fair?
