I hear you on that and I agree. Car looks great! However, have you ever thought of putting on proper sized tires that have wide shoulders? (say, direzza zii / yoko advan ad08 / hankook rs3) And raising it a taaaaad if need be on rubs? (and possibly stiffening it up a taaad if rubs)??? I think that would look amazing on those wheels + better suit the rest of the agressive look of the car IMO right now, the current tire setup hinders the overall look if i had to criticize ps - i loveeeee that sleK lip. Just cant quite justify yet buying it at its price, just to have to have it scrap up front if I wasn't careful |

If I was willing to get the inside of my fenders cut then bigger tires would work but I'm returning the car in less than a year so I'm not cutting the fenders even though it wouldn't even be noticeable. |

I do the same, use cheap tires while I'm working out camber, etc issues. Nitto N555s seem to be the best cheaper tires that I've used lately. I used to use Sumitomos, switched to Nexxens.

The Falkens I've used in the past were stiff, and since my wheels were oversized and suspensions stiff, they made my ride to harsh. Tend to be loud too. But they did help turn in, etc.

Hmm maybe I'll give the Nitto's a shot. Do they run wider than the others? That was one of my main concerns and I know Falkens don't run wide.

In my experience, Falkens, Toyos, and Nittos all run similarly small.
