VinRRR,
Jake is right, please show s’more. Everyone here is an R enthusiast and prolly enjoy variety and how you set it up to meet your style. At least two of us for sure love seeing what others have done. You just spent thousands to dress it up so showing it off is ok.
Of course... I type so slow you posted one, thanks, others appreciated too.

Thank you! Looking great! I also have a PMM and am trying to decide on wheels so I appreciate the help.

These wheels surpassed my expectation. They’re very light and durable for the price. I also really like the concavity.

If anyone was curious about how the satin titanium T-S5's would look on a CBP Type R...

Also posted in the Titan7 thread.

Spoon Progressive Springs

edit: Took out my nice camera to get better shots of the fitment.

I was going to run the same setup T7-S5 19" spoon progressive springs and was trying to figure out tire size with Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S. I've seen 265/30/19 and see your are running 255/35/19... I'm guessing the latter setup is more comfortable. Would a 265/35/19 rub? Or overall what provides the best look/fitment along with performance. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks

The 255 tire looks too narrow for me on a 9.5" wheel. I think the 265 is better suited for the wider wheels.

They look great! I am looking at something similar. We’re you able to resolve the rubbing issue with the swift springs?

Thanks! No more rubbing. For the front, I bent the fender tab above the side marker and tucked the fender liner behind it. That’s the part that protrudes out the most. For the rear, I only rubbed on the driver side, but magically, it went away after I rotated the tires lol.

I think this is really dependent on tire. 255 equals to roughly 10 inches so the coverage should be good. I personally run 245's on my 9.5 wheels on my S2000. I prefer that minimal stretch. I personally will run 255's on a 9.5 for the FK8.

Rolfz... rolfiz... i give up,

I agree the tire chosen matters. With 19’s, I was told by pros that max width and ratio with Mich Pilot 4S was 265/35 without any rub not lowered. I dropped it about an inch with Eibach Pro springs and stuck with 255/35 to be safe (chicken). While most 19” might be fine, certain ones (more true in 18”) rub slightly at 265/35 sometimes just need front well tab reverse tucked.

i wonder if there’s a database that has those tire differences/nuances? Seems odd some are puffier or flatter but belt tech is different by maker and model tire. Measurements are only width and height ratio, not the areas between or shape. It'd be handy to experiment visually with a tool that showed true results prior to purchase. Tire Rack to the rescue?
