Got wider and lower profile tires installed today with spacers.
They are the Michelin PS4S 265/40R20 102Y and 295/35R/20105Y on stock OEM wheels and 10” front and 12” rear H&R spacers. I think the 12” spacers for the rear is wider than expected and going to go with 10” or even 8” for the rear due to wider than stock tire size.
Wanted the wider and lowering profile tires to be lowered for better stance and performance ( better grip ).
Even got the clean the calipers and wheels really good while the wheels were off at American tires:
Looks good man! I had the same installed last weekend- no spacers and OEM size in the front. I also went with the "K1 Ferarri" rear as it had a slightly wider tread surface than the standard 295-35-20. They don't stick out at all and it's definitely more appealing from the rear. I also go some weird looks when I opened the trunk and busted out the cleaning supplies for the calipers.
I got my alignment checked immediately after and it was massively off- toe and camber in front, and camber in the rear. You might want to get yours checked out if you haven't recently.
Sorry for my late reply. Been traveling allot. Yeah the 265 and 295 wheels have a great fit. The photos I’ve posted originally with spacers really pushed the wheels out. I have sense had my shop remove the spacers and not it sits perfectly. If I didn’t plan on lowering the car, the spacers are flushed with the outer fenders, but if I was lowered with the spacers, it would definitely rub.
I’ll take some photos of the new wider tires without the spacers when the rain stops here in Socal.
