1st attempt:
...the rears are a little too stretched for my taste. Please provide your expert comments. Should I go for wider tires? Thanks in advance. Here are the specs: Front: 225/35-20, 20x8.5 ET30 Rear: 255/30-20, 20x10 ET40 Only iPhone photos for now until more mods are in place. Cheers 2nd attempt with new tires: Changed to front 235/35-20 and rear 265/30-20 Pzero's Some updated images: Dropped with KW V2: This needs fine tune and alignment after settled. Unlike the earlier V2's I've seen on this forum, my rears are adjusted to almost the lowest (probably just 5-7mm to go) but the fronts are set at almost the highest. So pretty means I don't have much room for setting the height... Good news is that my rears doesn't rub. Image showing the rears when parking on slope: Last edited by awhk; 03-21-2013 at 03:15 AM..

I am actually thinking of changing to 235/35 and 265/30 to keep the tire circumferences as close to stock as possible... 265 still too narrow for 10"?

I agree, 275s for a 10" wide wheel. To answer your question, yes the rears are way stretched, as is the front with a 8.5" wheel width for the front...go with a 245/30/20 minimum.
Most manufacturers don't recommend a 255 and 10" wide wheel, most limit it to 9.5". You went with 20" wheels which makes it touch to find tires for the sizes you need. Dave

I have a set of HRE 9x20 and 10.5x20 (and 11x20) and get mid concave front and rear too. The offsets are too high for bigger differences.

Looks like you changed from Conti to Pirelli tires too, any difference in how the car feels with the new tires?

Yea, these are the new MV2's. It seems that ADV.1 has improved their qualities (inner barrels are now painted and valve stems are now included although one of them is broken lol!!!). Anyway, I am going to follow your route on getting KW V2 (lowering by 1/2" f/r should be enough). V3 is just too complicated to fiddle with and I have never been able to find the right setting for PSS10. |
