Do you have your 285/30/19's on those wheels?
Yes, all sig data is accurate.
285/30/19 on the rear, 225/40/18 on the front. No rubbing whatsoever under sane driving conditions.
The slight increase in wheel width was just what the doctor ordered for these tires... my ONLY complaint to date was the transient cornering response was a bit less than the Michelin PS2... the wider wheels seem to have stiffened the sidewalls just enough to make cornering a "sure-footed" affair once again.
And the wheels are much lighter than I initially gave them credit for. The drive to work was a learning experience, as the 1st-2nd-3rd gear dig was MUCH quicker. Cornering feels a hair lighter as well. At 80, a slight roll of the throttle brings me quickly to 90 with no downshift.
I weighed my OEM wheels, and they were 29/34, F/R respectively. The new ones (per manufacturers specs) are 24.8 and 28.2... so, a five-pound decrease of spinning mass per corner.
