Duh...my bad. I was looking at pics of another car "crckrjck" and thought it was yours. Sorry about that. Car looks fantastic. Yeah, live and learn on tires. I am in the middle of a lot of tire research as well for a new set of 20 HREs" . Prob with going above /30/ on rear with tires that wide is that you are altering the mass and rotational inertia to a degree not favorable to the car. Same goes for front. Need to stay at /35/ if you run tires at factory width. I will have to be at /25/ with 20's for rear and /30/ front for best performance. Not always about performance though. Sometimes looks and ride comfort are the important factors. I will surely have lower ride quality with stiffer and thinner sidewalls. Oh well. Gotta do what ya gotta do. :-)

I want a more stockish feel and ride. I know I'm not going to get 100% stock ride and feel. Here's a picture of my current setup. M5 is my buddies. MRR wheels 20x9.5 20X10.5 Falken 452 245/35/20 and 285/30/20

Tada just got them on. Minor rubbing on dips, but that's about it. 245/40/19 and 285/35/19. I'll upload better pictures later. Almost feels like stock
