So RR is showing chords Mickey street ET. I am happy with the cars stance, but it is tempting to step up to a slightly bigger tire. This is a street car, dry weather only, rarely goes to the track but it is possible. Tires are gonna run $500 -$600 just looking for opinions. I was thinking 275 55/16 and a 1 inch drop spring and hoping that would lower the stance exactly same of course I may rub. Opinions welcome:)
 
No opinion, sorry, but very interested in seeing these wheels on your car. Considering the same setup with 16x10 on the rear. Mind sharing a pic?
 
255 50 16

Where are you guys getting 10" GTAs? My 16s are 8 and thats all I am seeing offered. Would love to get 2 wider ones for the rear. Pics look really great too, that stance is looking good!

There's no place to buy them out right. You have to send in your core to Tru-design in Colorado, or let gbody be the middle man. They are expensive and I got these from a customer. Otherwise I would not have them.

I tried to got to their site yesterday and it is gone! Are they out of business?
 
Looks like I should be ok with a taller tire. I will still have room for 1 inch drop springs. Now 275 55 or 295 50...or is there that much difference other than price. Mickeys are slightly cheaper. M&H different pattern...better for surprise shower. I can attest Mickeys are deadly in the rain.

275 55 16 installed. Not sure if 1 in drop springs will work. Wheel well is pretty full.

The RR tire with rub the fender on heavy bumps on back country roads, on city streets no issues. 255's only rubbed when car was loaded with wife/baby/me groceries. Stock springs and poly bushings out back.
