On my base model lowered on stock bolts, OE Z06 sway bars with Bilstein B8 shocks. I installed the 4S two sizes larger and one aspect ratio smaller front and rear (265/35/18 and 305/30/19). It reduced the ride harshness, increase contact patches and traction in addition to lowering the CG. They look way better too!

Stock wheels? (18x8.5 front / 19x10 rear) Any pics?

Yes stock wheels but America’s Tires starched my front wheels. So this picture is of my OE rear wheel and some Cray 18x9 with 50 mm offset that they let me use until they re-powder coat my OE fronts. Long story but second picture is of one of my repaired OE front wheels with new 265/35/18 4s...

The Pilot Super Sports ZP don’t come in these sizes, they are more expensive and aren’t supposed to last as long, plus they give a harsh ride especially with my setup. With these lower wider tires if I took it to the track I would bet the lap times would be equal to or better than with the ZPs.

Second chance to see if I could match Super Sports lap time with 4Ss!

Noisier than the super sports.

I run toyo r888r's now and love them. Doesn't quite have the grip of the cup 2's but lasts much longer.

Are these street legal or do you only use on track?

They are street legal. They last a long time, so I have a spare ser of wheels to try to put as few heat cycles into the toyo as possible.
