Pss - Rs3? 19x10 F / 19x11 R
Wheels are a set size that won't change and my EVO V12s do not play nice with the supercharger.
I need something really sticky that still can fit these size wheels and most tires have really bad sizing for this size wheel. im running 275/30 F 295/30 R with the V12s currently. Any insight? |

I would suggest AD08's as having more traction than PSS's.
The RS3's have better hot traction than AD08's on a track, but are worse than AD08's if they are not hot or if it is cold or wet out. Agree with 11 inch rims, a E92, and maybe a littler negative chamber you could fit a 305/30/19 on the rear.

Thanks! What about traction from a dig, which one is better?

You're the one that created the offset confusion originally and why I asked for clarification...haha
With an 11et20 I'm surprised you were able to run a 295 on the R! Are you using the stock suspension at the stock ride height? How much rear camber are you running? If you want to run a 305 without rubbing (assuming non-stock ride height, reasonable rear camber) the offset for an 11" wide wheel should be between 30 to 33. Personally, I don't think you can run a 305 on an 11et20 wheel without significant rubbing! However, perhaps I'm wrong... |

it is looking like 275/30 295/30 AD08 is the way to go. |

Ok - that makes sense because a 275/30-19 has a 0.2" smaller diameter than the stock 245/35-19. If you run a F tire that is slightly larger in diameter than the stock F diameter then it will most likely rub, however, not on all cars (depends on fender liner tolerance).

RS3s are harsh, noisy, and traction during normal driving isn't great. They are horrible in the rain. If you are looking for tires that are great when you put some heat in them, the RS3s are for you.
PSS are grippier on the street, quieter, and less harsh. I haven't used them on the track so I can't speak to their characteristics when hot.
