Default Hankook Ventus V12 Evo N110

Based on $130 in rebates from Discount Tire and Hankook, I purchased a set on Saturday. Went with 235/40 front and 275/35 rears. No fitment problems at all. I was surprised (and a little disappointed) that they do not fill the wheelwells any better height-wise. They are noticeably wider and protrude more beyond the fender. They lack any rim protection (the oem Contis have a ridge of rubber that slightly protects the rim), but the wider tire does extend a good half inch beyond the rim and I hope that does the trick. Otherwise no difference in ride or grip. I paid $1016 out the door including the full tire warranty. My front tires had easily 1/2 tread left while the rears were down to the wear bars at 40,500. My SRT6 should go another year and I think I'll go for 285s on the rear for better grip. Anyone have any issues with three sizes larger? Tire, that is.
