Hey guys.

Just got these installed. All I have right now are crappy iPhone pics, so I will post up better pictures when I have time for a quick photoshoot.

Long story short, the 285's fit fine.

There is about a 1/2 cm (or less) of tire-wall sticking out past the rim (as expected). No sidewall bulge. Car handles great. Car looks fantastic. The 285/35 has a beefy sidewall, which makes the car look much more aggressive, similar to the stock 219 18" rims with the 265/40's. IMO, the 245/35 and 285/35 combo looks completely fine. Yes, the rear is slightly taller, but I'm dropped it and looks fantastic. I will be upgrading to a 255/35 in the front soon enough, as I feel the best look would be a 255/35 and a 285/35. However, running a 285/30 would still look completely fine. It's actually a bit shorter than the stock 265/35, but for those not going for the aggressive look, this tire is probably more for you!

Cheers.
