I dont know since I have mine mounted on aftermarket wheels with custom offsets.
I dont think you will have any problems with rubbing tho.
Hurry up and get those on there

I'm having a set of these put on today as well, but in stock sizes. Once I'm able to get into the throttle without AFR's dropping into the 10's I'll share my opinion.

OK.....tires are installed on stock wheels and IMHO they look just fine.... Even with the 275 width in the rear they seem to have plenty of clearance.
No real driving impressions to report except for highway miles. They are smooth and quiet and seem to grip better from a dig than the Conti Sport 3s....but I haven't REALLY nailed it yet to see how much they'll take before finally letting loose.

Looks good!!!! try driving in 3rd gear at 75-85 mph and giving it enough gas to engage the SC without it doing a kickdown and see if the traction control light blinks.

Driving back from the track in torrential rains the PSS's felt rock solid. Never a moment where the car felt uneasy.
Good idea Skratch, I'll give it a shot myself when it dries up.

Tires also need several miles of driving in order to warm up to operating temp even after they are run in.

Perhaps another factor is new tires need about 500 mile to wear off their slippery mold release compounds and so that would account for ESP and other systems being engaged?

My car threw a wrong gear ratio code and would engage the tc at higher speeds
I fixed it by lowering rear tire pressure and raising the fronts a little.
