D, any reason why you didn't go with 265 in the rear? Also people usually go with a 30 sidewall, hows that 35? Comfortable?

I purchased these wheels with the tires a set from previous owner (coin) so he picked the config for me The reason he had this setup was do to his lowering with cut
Eibach springs. I still need to research what missing parts I have for my set of the PSS9s and get them on. At least with the coilovers I will be able to adjust for a perfect fit. I have no issues with the comfort level on 35s now and its quite low. The monarchs have lips folding out so I think 30s might be too aggressive putting the edge of the rim very close to the pavement.

Hankook V12 Evo's, they are great! Best wheels I have tried and they are reasonably priced..

Bridgestone Potenza RE050 are great, quiet, great traction in all conditions and they are run flats so you can drive up to some speed with no air in them. The negative is they are a bit pricey at about $350 mounted. Check Tire Rack for pricing and reviews.

Totally agreed on that...bought a pair for my rear and also just drove 1200 miles on the last days too. They are great .

They were cheap, I don't remember the exact price though. Check Tirerack, they have good prices for the Hankooks.

You have to get the correct spacers front and rear. H&R has the part numbers listed on their website. Only 10mm and up is hubcentric. The front spacers have a cap.

Here's my problem I put the monarchs on but when I drive slowly it scratches the calipers so that means I need spacers..the hub on the rear looks like it's about 7mm..if I get 10mm hubcentric will it not touch the calipers anymore

and also the front hubs like I said are 2 inches long..sorry I think hub is the part sticking out on the car? Or is that the bore? But when I bought 15mm spacers for the front it didn't slide in all the way..
