put the hr super sports on and 5mm pads.. perfect tuck.. no rub but flush.. i think few more mm and it would rub..

That sc5 looks really nice. What the tire size and the offset?

silversx

235/35 265/30 45/48 offset

silversx

and for reference i measured height before and after from center of wheel fender to ground

before:
front 25 7/8 inches
rear 26 1/8 inches
center of front bumper to ground 8 inches

after:
front 25 3/8 inches
rear 24 7/8 inches
center of front bumper to ground 8 inches

total lower front .5 inch rear 1.25 inches

no more rake!

Wow, very nice! Thanks for the pics

So with 275's it should be ok? 5mm a side.

silversx

275 may be cutting it. If no 5mm pads maybe but during compression might be close. Imma put one of the wheels on a speed bump later to compress the other side to see how much it clears

Looking really sexy silver. Looking really good.

here's a pic of the rear compressed on a decent speed bump.. for those that wanna go lower offset or wider tires

How's ride comfort over bumps, potholes, crappy roads?
Any noticeable Acceleration loss due to weight?

silversx

Probably slower but i didnt notice anything. Not a race car.

Rides normal. Feel bumps more but nothing like my other car i guess

I'm going to run 225/40 and 255/35 on my sc-5ive's

- 1/2" taller side wall for a little more comfort
- will fill the wheel gap a little more
- little more stretch for clearence/rubbing issues when fully loaded with weight.
- when speedo reads 60mph actual speed will be 62mph

If you run taller tires front but 255/35 in back you might get a reverse rake with hr super sport and 5mm

popp

225/40r19 AND 255/35r19 are exactly the same size....... the 1/2" taller (all around) is compared to stock 225/40r18 and 255/35r18.

My c350 is a 4matic, so I have to run the same size tire all round.
