Something a little different...Deep lip Machined hyper black Advan R6 18x9.5+45.
Stock height; Advan Apex tires in 2 different sizes for comparison.
I originally ordered 265/35 & just couldn’t get over the wheel gap it created so I was lucky enough to exchange them with only a few miles for 255/40.... happy camper now. Can’t wait to go for a spin to see how the ride differs from the 265s
Oddly I’ve seen other brands of tires at 265/35 that fill the wheel gap just fine

How are you finding the 275s? Are you happy with that tyre selection?

I almost went with 265s but I’m glad I went with 275s. They fit a 9.5” wheel perfectly and give the car a more aggressive aesthetic. I also have no plans of lowering the car, which made the decision easy.

Also, the tire model itself was a top choice because it has great dry performance and exceptional wet performance. R mode feels like sport mode now on bumpy roads and I feel cornering has only improved.

My R running Enkei RPF1's with 265/35/18 Michelin Pilot Sport All-Season 4's on Swift springs for the wintertime.

Hey I know you posted awhile back but how do you like this set up? What are the pros and cons? I want to do the rpf1s but I don't want to lower the car. Also with the 265s did you notice the car was a little slower taking off? I'm also gonna be getting michelin ps4s not the all seasons just trying to wrap my head around all of this and it's hard to find people with the rims I'm looking at lol

I would like to order a set of Spoon Wheels SW388 with tire size 265/35/18
Could anyone tell me if the factory suspension will cause tire rub?

Pretty sure they are +45. You won't have any issues rubbing at stock height.

I am very happy with the RPF1’s however I did rub slightly where the fender liner meets the side marker. Since you don’t plan on lowering that won’t be an issue. As far as acceleration I got more grip taking off than the stock tires so it actually felt quicker. If I was choosing the setup again I would keep the wheels because I’m happy with performance and appearance. I would likely go with 245/40/18 tires so they are more flush with the wheels versus poking out a bit... also less likely to rub when lowered. Hope this helps!

oh right. You will still have no issues at stock height with 265/35 at +40 ?

Anyone have 15-20mm spacers w/ET35-45 wheels to regain zero scrub radius @ET60? Eibach Pro’s here, 255/35-19 x 9.5, ET41, considering 19mm Bora’s.

I respect the naysayers but this is asking those with to share their experience, thanks.
