New set up

Hey guys so my previous setup was

20x9 et 25 245/35/20
20x10.5 et 15 255/35/20

I bought new wheels with the same specs but wanted to go with wider tires. With my previous setup I had minor rubbing with no camber kit ( don't want to run any more camber then I have too)

So new setup I was thinking is 245/30/20 255/30/20 if I want to run wider tires I'm assuming I would have to raise the car? (On coilovers)

I'm confused on how you think 255/30 is wider than a 255/35...?
You have the correct profile change but you could do 255/35 in front (camber dependent) and 285/30 in the rear to go wider

The summer tires will be staggered and directional so unfortunately, rotating will be out of the question. I am square on the winters though so I can at least rotate those front to back.

I agree. Toe will be in spec and the suspension is new

Not too crazy aggressive, but picked these up over the weekend. 19x9.5 +17 and 19x10.5 +24 Volks on 245/35/19 and 275/35/19. Will be going with a 255/40/19 front soon. Sorry for the crappy cell phone pics:

Nice wheel choice Jfish, looks to be a good fit too, those 255s should be the finishing touch!

Hey Guys. I have a set of Work T1s sized 19" 8.5/9.5 35 offset all around. I am adding a 20mm Spacer all around. I was thinking, one, will this work for my 2012 Sport Coupe and 2, would 245/30R19 for the front and 275/35R19 work for the rear?

I'd order & mount those tires, get them fitted on the car then determine what spacing you need. Think it will be tough in back for sure but

You know surprisingly i hated these tires.. But when I went back to get an alignment I was telling my friend about switching tires because I always hated sumitomos. The reason why I got these is because I thought I would rub or ruin my good tires at the height I was at. Originally I wanted michelins or bridgestone but eh.. Anyways let's get back to topic, these sumitomos are actually pretty good for the price you pay. Minus the fact that these are not directional but overall it's actually pretty dope!! And he also said these tires are better than hankooks v12's !! Word..

Good to know...I will probably go back to them. For the reason you mentioned, great grip for the price!
