yeah Andy@Livernois recommended them. They seem to be a little cheaper than KDW and the pattern is really growing on me... both have great reviews so...

Let us know how those 275s fit on the front!!!

Also, do you have a drop?

That wasn't under a grand shipped with the tires, was it?

Stock ride height at the moment.

No it was right at $1000 for the wheels, $80 for new TPMS and I am still deciding on tires.

275 should fit... there are several cars running them including one slammed one.

I had 275/35-19 Pole Position on 19x8.5, 40mm wheels and they fit great up front. PP are narrow for a 275. I tried my rear setup up front to see and it was a different story. I have non-PP 275/35-19 on 19x9.5, 42mm wheels and while they seemed to fit, the clearance between the inside sidewall and the strut body was a tight fit for the thickness of a credit card. Camber effects this and I'm running -1*.

If my wheels had been 45mm offset instead of 42mm, the sidewall would have rubbed on the strut with the non-PP Potenzas.

I am lowered with a Pedders Track II. The Pedders car (JusticePete) runs 275/35-19 on 19x9.5, 43mm wheels but he is running 275/35-19 Pole Position tires. There is like an inch difference in the tire width at the tread and .4" in the section.

Good Looking Out G8V8... will check into it... I am ok with running a 5mm spacer up front.
