Will see how that fits then..?
Will then be a task of replacing these with a 265/40 pair of tyres
Going to stick with 40 profile tyres as i personally think they look better and the
ride is better too..plus they fill the arches better
The front wheels are fitted with 225/40 so thats good. Will see now if Pirelli do a 265 to match?
Would love to use these wheels if i can..I love em..and .the best deal i could get on a set of Oz Alleggerita HLT with Falken rubber is £1750 thats $2700
So would save me a packet !!

The math still doesn't add up. While running 285's is not the ideal set-up IMO, we're only talking about a 10mm or 20mm difference over a 275 or 265 tire. You shouldn't have any problems with those wheels if used in combination with a 20mm spacer and the aforementioned tire sizes.
