Those are 19" coupe wheels right?
Can you do us a huge favor and throw them on a scale to get a idea how much they weigh?
I had factory 18x8.5 duckfeet (g37 rwd sport sedan) wheels off the car and they weighed 25lbs alone.
Curious to know what 19" coupes weigh

this is what mobile mode looks like.
Thank you for the wheel reference thread, Rochester.

Just curious, but why did you choose such large diameter tires? The OEM "Sport Package" Bridgestone tires are 26.7" for the rear and 27" for the front, but the sizes you chose are around 28.7". That's around 2" larger in diameter over the OEM tires!

IDK. I guess we'll have to see how they look. Maybe I'll regret it.

Ah, interesting! I was planning on installing my FI RHFC to complement my tanabe axleback in a few weeks. I have vibrant resonators that I initially planned to use but then I changed my mind after recently purchasing the HFC because I didn't want things to be too loud. I know it's all subjective, but how do you find the noise level with your current setup, like on a scale of "Honda with a hole in the exhaust" to "BMW M3 at full throttle"? Thanks again for the response(s)!
EDIT: just saw your post above that you aren't happy with how loud things are. Hmm.

Another observation: With the stock cats if I was parked with the car on the entire car would shake / vibrate a little. I thought the motor mounts were bad but with the new cats this dosen't happen anymore.

Rear fender will be cut with flares.
Well, there are a few reasons. A) I'm going to be running 3" Titanium Exhaust and I don't want to ruin it. B) I originally wanted 265/35/20 and 315/30/20 but that combo was hard to find in the brand tires I wanted. C) The pot holes around here are unreal. D) this is my drive way with only 1~" less clearance with NO lip.

I can also almost guarantee that the front tires are going to rub like crazy. I'm not so much worried about the 275mm width (I'm running 265's without any rubbing), but that combined with a tire that is almost 2" larger in diameter your going to have very little clearance in your front fender wells when turned at full lock.

Just fair warning... Just as Slartibart mentioned, your stability/traction control (and possibly ABS too) are probably going to go nuts with tire diameters that far off from the OEM size. I was previously running 305/35R20's, which are about 28.4" diameter, and I couldn't keep my traction control from constantly intervening. It was so bad that I added a switch to the center control so I could completely disable it. I eventually switched to 305/30R20's, which at 27.2" are still slightly larger diameter than OEM, but I haven't had any issues since. It can be a little tricky when changing tire sizes on vehicles with modern electronics... But, who knows, maybe you'll get lucky and won't have any issues.
