Got 345 pilot sport cups, they have no issues.

What's your front tire?

Are you running those tires on a stock wheel?

I feel those are the best choice if you drive your car on the street. They will look and perform fantastic as will the new HRE wheels.

It was hilarious when I had my 345 PSS in the shop. Everyone didn't know what to think when the cars we work on 245 is big. Haha! Imports....

Yes the 345 is taller, wider and has a bigger sidewall.
diameter 26.68 vs 27.15
sidewall 3.84 vs 4.07
width 12.8 vs 13.58
speed 62.14 vs 63.24
I'm running the pilot super sports on all four corners. 275s up front and 345s out back. I know some guys run this combo on stock wheels with no issues, however I'm going to run this combo on my new HREs which are 1/2 wider than the stock wheels both front and back. Still 18x19 combo. I love the look because the wheel/tire combo is pushed right to the edge of the fender so they are flush with the car. The 345 also fills out the rear wheel well and imho the 345 looks like the correct size for the car where the 325 is just a tad too small. I ran this combo befor on my 06 Z06 and loved it which is why I'm sticking with the same combo on my 09. I'll post up pics when everything is all mounted up. I'm hoping the wheels will ship today!

I have the same setup with the car lowered A LOT. just looking at it parked you'd think it would eat up the fenders over a bump or hard cornering but it doesn't! Only thing I don't like about them is that mine are about half way worn and I'm really not looking forward to paying for another set!
