Whats up guys, I’ll be needing to get new tires within the next month or so. I’m currently on a 18x9.5 +35 setup with 255/40 ps4s. I definitely want to throw on at least a 265 next and have even read some getting away with a 275. My offset being high I’m wondering if a 275 is even doable. I plan to keep the car at stock height for the foreseeable future. I also have the eibach rear camber kit if needed I can install, and I know about removing the front guide pin for some free camber as well. I’m not to versed in fitment and would appreciate some of the gurus.
the tires I’m looking to get are the falken azenis 615.
thanks!

I ran 265/35/18 Michelin Pilot Sports on TE37 18 x 9.5 38 offset, had no issues rubbing unless I hit a huge dip at a high speed.

Nice ! Should I add the extra negative camber while I’m at it or no need ?

if you want too, i run regamasters 45 offset with advan apex tires (thinner than ps4s). i lowered on swift springs and have 0 rubbing cause my offset, up next is hks coils probably. you can add negative camber to the front natuerally pulling the pin, but i dont think its that noticeable of a diff

I’ve had the Falken Azeris 615+ 275 35 18 for 6 months. I really like the tires. I’m on stock suspension with a 40 offset wheel. I had 255 40 18 before and I prefer the 275 35.

I think 275’s with a +35 offset will be overkill for me.

Yeah man I wasn’t even planning on getting them so soon but after seeing that ETA I had to pull the trigger. How do you like them ? Do they hook?

They have incredible grip from a roll or cornering at high speeds. I would purchase again.

That’s what I’m looking forward to. My worn out PS4S break loose even with partial throttle. They are a 255/40. What tire pressures do you run? I just got a tire rack notification saying they shipped early.

That's great! I have them around 35. I usually check once a month. They have a little more direct feel than the 255/40 too with the thinner sidwall. I have a custom tune around 355whp and in the summer in AZ here I literally feel glued to the road on some spirited driving. Feels great right now as well with temps in high 60s too.
