These are on the stock 18" OEM rims. I can post a pic up at some point. Obviously, the tires bulge out a little due to the extra width compared to the stock sizes, but it it no unsightly by any means, but if you want a 'crisp', squared off look this might matter. The rears fill the tire well okay without spacers, you could push them out with a 5mm spacer I guess, but I am not bothered so much. I had 15mm spacer at the rear with the Hankook 265/35/R18s and they were pretty flush, so with an extra 5 mm, you could get the same effect. The tires up front fit well and do not rub. I have 265/35/R18 tires for the track, so I knew they would fit.
I haven't pushed the lateral handling, but the launch and emergency brake (
) traction is terrific. I was worried that a "340" tire would be a lot harder/less grippy, even with an extra 4/5" tread width. I cannot vouch for wear yet and I won't be using them on the track unless it rains!
