personally I am NOT a fan of Chrome but you have to do what you like. Also in my opinion these cars definitely need an altitude adjustment. The size is probably good. I have 19 inch wheels that I am refinishing for mine and I'll be installing H&R springs when I get an opportunity

Looks a little different now. Running 19x9.5 in the rear instead of the 20x10 and no longer has the 3D carbon roof wrap and the grill is back to the original chrome strips instead of the black

Mine this past Summer for about 2 months. Back to stock now. working on a change again.
19x8.5 ASA ST3 w/ 12mm front and 20mm rear spacers.
...and I know there was not enough tire on the wheel. I've sold the tires. Wheels are for sale. Were Bronze, now Plasti-dipped gunmetal grey
Currently with Wife's S60T

Thanks! Definitely was unique but wasn't my vision. Sold those wheels and something new coming very shortly...

Haven't had any issues with computer errors whatsoever. The fronts are 225/40/19 and the rears are 285/40/19. As long as the 2 fronts are the same and the 2 rears are the same I don't see how it would cause any problems anyway?

Cool, I was really just curious because the "written word" is >3% variance. Definitely not wishing any issue on you but was curious as I am going to a staggered set up and at one point was having trouble figuring out tire sizes

How did you fit 285's in the rear? Rolled fenders?

Do you think 275's on 18's should fit no problem with stock ride height? I have 265's right now, but i want the widest rear tire i can get on there without any issues.

Try your cruise control over 60...it will not work. Your ABS will also be messed up and the other systems which rely on wheel speed differentials between front and rear to work correctly.
285/30 on the back will be better than your current set up because they will be very slightly smaller than the fronts.
Your backs are almost 3 inches greater in diameter than they should be. Playing with tyre sizes is ok...if you know what you are doing.

I'm pretty sure I know what I'm doing, even if I am living dangerously by not having cruise control. I'm not even sure that my cruise doesn't work now, I don't care enough to go out and try it right now. My abs light isn't on either. My car may be the exception or maybe your car is just way smarter than mine?

Who says they are supposed to be the same? If it were a 4matic car then I would understand. Its also a damn good thing that I could give 2 ****s less if some guy from where? Scotland? Thinks I know what I'm doing. I'm sure you are the pinnacle of the car world over there
