I pushed it a little far this time with 295/30/19 Pirelli sottozero winter rear tires. It rubs on uneven roads and taking an exit normally means smoke coming out of the wheel well.
Raised - no problem. I just don't like the look. Stance, son!
3 months or so to go on this setup. Thoughts?
Looks **** though. Wheels are my old 19 euro63's.




Merry Christmas!

This is one of the reasons I'm glad I left Massachusetts and moved to Houston! I'd say go to a more narrow rear tire. Wide isn't great in the snow anyways.

i have 285 in pirelli snow if you want to trade. Haven't seen snow here in VA yet.

E55Dimon

Hmm that would be a nice trade. Last time I shipped tires this big though it cost 80!

Rather than running in the raised position, what about just raising the car 1/2" or so. I think it would be a decent compromise. Car looks great!

E55Dimon

Thx, that is whats to be decided.

And in holiday spirit, just found these under the tree from the girl:

PACougar

That is Fking sick as Fk!

E55Dimon

Thank you!

Awesome present! I say drive with it in comfort (should be a tad higher than sport 1 or sport 2) If that doesn't work, I say move down to a 285 and drive as is. Proper stance and wheels go a LONG way. Car looks fantastic as is my friend!

E55Dimon

Thanks Sun! Only driving in comfort, our roads are total garbage so it scrapes often still..took an exit at like 40 yesterday in the daytime and saw smoke shooting from wheel well. Been driving it raised since. Maybe I can just keep doing that where I need.

kompressede

Man tough choice. It's all about the look, and you have that covered. So i would say a smaller tire, before raising the car.

Nice set of tires for you too.

E55Dimon

Dont wanna mess anything up driving it raised a lot, shouldn't IMO. Its nice and comfy too.

PACougar

Why would it mess something up driving in the raised position?

E55Dimon

That's what I meant by it shouldn't. Seems like there may be more strain on the bags.

BenzoBoi

You got the right idea my friend. It's hard lookin so good, isn't it?

E55Dimon

Yes, yes it is

WHTEVO

I say just run it in comfort mode. You car looks so good.

Looks sick, however I would run a smaller tire.

295 in snow is going to be useless with such little tread depth, no?. Not sure how wide that rim is but if you could go to a 280 or 275 I bet you would have no issues

E55Dimon

Tires are getting expensive. With my drop I only get a few months out of them. 285's I've had on many wheels without issues. I bet 295's would work if they weren't wide winters.
Thanks Aaron.
I think tread depth is fine. We shall see what happens in deeper snow though.

After I have installed spacers my rear was rubbing pretty bad. I found the guy who rolled my rear fenders for $80. Now I get very very minimal rubbing.

djrabbi

Haha are everyone getting these?!!? I know 10 people at least got these now, including myself. I got the black ones instead.

CLKCLK

The tire looks too wide for the rim.

AKnight55

Looks dope. It's only a few months, just lift the rear a bit. That's a mean looking winter set up!

E55Dimon

Yea I dig it. Think I'll run this setup for the next couple months raised when needed..then do a smokeshow before going back to the cv3's
Kyastas - I looked hard for a place to roll fenders, how much wider did yours come out? I am under the impression e55 fenders are already rolled and 2-3mm extra with chance of paint cracking is best scenario..
Clkclk-that's the point, was going for the mean meaty look. Rockin' rims in the wintertime.

I have a professional fender roller. If I were closer I'd love to help out.
