anything under 40psi cold is a no-no for me... im running about 44psi because I'm scared of my own driving habits hahahaha

I was thinking that i would go with a 265 on the fronts once it's that time...but 1st I need to see how much space I would have after i'm lowered and all the correct camber is in place... also would like a fatter rear tire but not sure what would be a tire since continental doesn't make 305's or 315's...

Did any of you guys do any fender work on the LS for more tire meat in the rear? I'm willing to roll the fenders to get some fatter tires on the rear... just not sure if it's that easy...any input?

Also, there's nothing wrong with lapping the LS

i actually pulled my tire selection from Mark's old SSR set up - I'm assuming you ran the same tires as he did, he was on 265/30 as well.

my wheels had aggressive offsets, the rear fenders were completely shaved otherwise it rubbed like hell. for the front i took off the plastic trim and rolled the fenders a little

yes, mark and i got tires together and we had the same sizes

Is there anything bad about removing the plastic parts? Also, so the rear would have to be shaved tonged some more room back there? Sorry for the anyoing questions.

nothing bad about it that i can think of

shave the fenders and you gain at least 1/2"

I had my fenders rolled on all corners but I have 245/30 in the front on 9 width and 285/25 on 11 width in the rear.
Shaving the fenders give about 4-5mm more of space. That was my experience on my previous LS with shaved fenders compared to my LS now with rolled fenders.

Interesting, what are your offsets and wheels specs? Also, are you lowered yourself?

I know that 255/30 is the minimum recommended size for proper load rating, but many are running the 245/30 size. According to the Continental DWS spec sheet, the treadwear rating on that size is actually lower at 450 vs 540 rating for the 265/30 and 295/25 sizes. Not sure if the Conti DWS owners are aware of that. I wasn't until I started researching.

So, do any Vossen owners with the 35 offset fronts recommend NOT going with 265/30 in the front for clearance issues?

Conti DWS max load rating
245/30 - 1389 lbs
265/30 - 1609 lbs
295/25 - 1609 lbs

I have Lexani LS15-22's (staggered). No significant ride difference except when I hit a pothole or speed bump. ..Didn't need spacers or offsets. I don't think they had to change out the TPMS's. ..at least they didn't charge me for that. No rubbing, but not lowered. Still rides like on a cloud otherwise. I'm riding on Pirellis.

Why do you say nitro is a gimmick?

I'm riding on 22x9 fronts 245/30/22 (rub when turning hard and hitting a dip) 22x10.5 rear 295/25/22 (fenders are shaved and it rubs when I hit a dip hard). My rear wheels and rear fender line up even with each other. Driving via highway, not bad, rear rubbing every now and then depending on road conditions. I think it rubs the plastic covers underneath.

Forgot to mention, it is dropped on Tanabe
