Most aggressive rear setup on stock ride height (p31 coupe)?

My summer tires need replacing and I always thought the 265 currently on the rears are inadequate for traction and not mean-looking enough! Have you guys seen the rear ends of 911s, vettes, hellcats, etc? 305 is the entry level for those cars.

Im running 19" x 9.5" HREs, looks great. 2012 coupe.

Whats the widest and most aggressive setup I can go for? Im thinking 275/30/19 PS4s with 10mm HR spacers?

And anyone know a cheaper place than simplytire in Toronto to get order tires + install? They quoted $400 cad per tire, which is the best rate I've seen but still robbery.

What is the ET on your HRE?

275/35/19 PS4 are possible to fit but I doubt you will fit a 10mm spacer as well.

That's not a bad price. PS4S in 19" is quite pricey. I have access to tires at cost from a shop and just looked at the cost and that price isnt too bad honestly. Yes, they're making money but its not absurb. $385/tire would be a super deal, so $15 off isnt all that much I'd say.

For comparison on H&R springs a 19x10 +55 with 275/30/19 was ok using an RE11 but rubbed the fender slightly using an AD09R

Thanks for the comments guys. I think it's a good price too. Best I've seen for a Canadian retailer, shipped or not.

I'm not sure where to get the ET from. Is it somewhere on the rim that my dad (semi-car guy) can easily find?

I believe HRE has serial numbers so you'd have to email it to them for the details.

Either or both serial # and ET should be etched on the hub mounting surface unless it has been machined off.
