[QUOTE="guarnibl, post: 14132146, member: 33086"] Yeah that sounds right. I'm misunderstanding tread width as well -- a 19x10 wheel will actually put down up to 11" of tread width. Paul thankfully let me know that as I was horribly confused when trying to figure out why people were evening bothering to run larger than 275 on a 10" wheel. For what it's worth, the Michelin's in 295/30ZR19 offer 11.5" of tread width, while the Toyo R888's in the same size only offer 11.2" -- given the next size down is a 265/30ZR19, I think I'm better off with a 295/30ZR19. I'm very set on the R888's -- I don't want to run a PSS up front and an R888 out back as it sounds like that will negatively impact the handling of the vehicle to run mismatched tires. I can't clear the GT500 calipers on any additional backspacing beyond a +38, so anything more is out of the question. And I'm not looking to go out and spend $4500 on a brake kit at the moment (I think I can get away just fine with the GT500 kit, and perhaps add the floating rotors in the future along with the ducts). I'm not super comfortable running spacers either, but finding anything less than 5mm is nearly impossible (as you said -- I think you had to make your own.. which can change the balance of everything, and it's just not something I want to do). So we're just going to go wild wild west and try the +38 19x10 -- worst case I'm out $800, which I can live with. Though Paul seemed confident with minor trim work and possibly rolling the fenders, that I would clear just fine. So what I end up with (w/ minor trim work): Front: 19x10 +38 on Toyo Proxes R888 295/30ZR19. Rear: 19x11 +53 on Toyo Proxes R888 305/30ZR19. All clearing the large front Brembo kit (15" rotors, 6 piston calipers). Do these forgestars work w/ TPMS? Do I need new lug nuts or anything? [/QUOTE]
