Post Pix of your S550 with aftermarket wheels and tires

[2morrow]

When you talk about "getting burned through" are you talking about an actual rubbing of the fender?

Yes. I have small wear holes already.

Yes. I have small wear holes already.

I'm trying to understand. Different tires, even though they are the same size do run smaller or larger, I guess; but a 19x10 wheel will be the same regardless, right?

Yes although tires say they have the same numerical size they can definitely run larger and/or smaller. Wheels will always be the same but gotta watch the offsets.

for example:
1st set: PP wheels with Pirelli P-zero. Meh, nothing special
2nd set: 20x10/20x11 wheels with 275/305. Rear tires had a proper fitting 305. 2nd set of tires had a much wider K1 295 rear tire.
3rd set: 20x10/20x11 wheels with MPSS 295 K1 (wider as noted above)
4th set: 19x10/19x11 with 275/305 RE-71R tires (Current set) fits more like a normal set.

I just noticed the rub and I didn't want to chew up the inner fender wells like my previous cars so I decided to go conservative on the front rubber for this round until
I really get a feel for the tire. Hell, I might go to an even more aggressive tire and ditch auto-x if my auto-x organizers keep acting like bitches.

In all this tire wheel swapping I've learned a TON about offset and fitment. Hope that helps

Are most of these after-market wheels on this thread hub-centric or lug-centric?

Any quality wheel, especially any model specific in fitment will be hub centric. If not the wheels will not be centered on the hub and balance becomes a real issue.

My 2017 PP GT with Enkei Raijin 19s and Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires

what is the exact size of wheels and tires?

 

[aclosedmind]

Same as stock with the performance pack. 255/40/19 up front and 275/40/19 out back. 19x8.5 up front and 19x9 out back. Considered going wider or taller but with these specific wheels I was more interested in the weight savings and the near-stock look. These are close to 10 lbs lighter per wheel. Lifting them during the install I could tell a decent difference in heft.

Not much to say but WOW those HRE Finishes :love:
