Was talking to RedFK8 about his setup and tire sizes the other day. Since I am not going to run a R compound tire like the RE-71R and instead something like the Pilot Super Sport, he was thinking that tire wouldn't have rubbing issues. I like the additional width of the 275/35 and more so it has less speedometer error. Just don't want any rubbing and guessing I should stick with 265/35. Thoughts?

btw stock height 18x9.5 +45

I have 265/35s RT-615s and had zero rubbing problems back when I was stock and now even lowered on Eibachs. Judging by the clearance I see, you can probably be ok with a 275/35 but I don't have any first hand experiences.

I would honestly stick with 265/35 in your case to avoid any possible rubbing. Pilot Super Sport are less aggressive than RE-71R but they're still fairly aggressive tires, I looked up the specs on the RE71R versus the PSS and the PSS is only .1 iches less tread width and .2 inches less sectional width. At that I'd say you are only getting .05~.1 inches more clearance by going the 275/35 PSS. That could be all you need but that would be something you would find out lol

I'm very happy with my set up from GRP!

HRE FF15 20"x9.5" 42ET x Eibach Pro-Kit x Toyo Proxies 255/30/ZR20

This is a new breed of Hyundai. It's a product designed by Albert Biermann... a German guy who is the head of Hyundai's new N division. He's not just any German guy either. He was the head of BMW's M division before take the Hyundai job. I have the feeling this car will pretty much nail the performance for the money.

I suspect this car will more than give the GTI and Focus ST a run for the money and be a cheaper alternative (but not as good) to the Type R.
I so regret not jumping on that Black Friday deal!! This is the look I want. So nice.

I will honor the Black Friday deal for you. We have 2 sets left in 19s i think. One black one silver, i need to confirm tomorrow.

Guys, we also have 18 inch FF15 with Michelin Ice x snow tires on them. They only have about 250 miles on them, willing to let them go for cost if anyone is looking for a great snow alternative!

Has anyone heard of flow one? Or have had some experience with them before.
I have been thinking of getting these 18x8.5x40 to switch out the stock rims for a better daily driving wheel/tire set up.
Let me know what you guys think or if you have any suggestions
