I posted in the other thread, copying and pasting here:
295s and 275s installed rear and front... Drove about 20 miles so far (will post pics over the weekend) and the impression so far is wow! Traction is much better, feed back is night and day and the front gap is filled up pretty well. Driving Experience with Suspension on: Sport + with the new set up its a rough ride. Going over bumps are more noticeable. Sport: Much improved than Sport + and a lot more comfortable ride. Comfort: Its now my favorite, I will be alternating between Sport and Comfort depending on the day and purpose. I drove the car hard, went over bumps, took ramps at high speed and I can easily tell the car is more planted than before. The wider look is nice but it still not wide enough lol the car needs 10.5 rears and 10's front in order to make the stance look wide (at least to my taste) but its definitely wider than the 275s rear and 255's front. The tires look bulky (in a nice way). So far I love this choice and will post pics soon |

The ride is stiffer with Sport + but not in a bad way and I may still use it when going for early morning runs on the back roads Comfort and Sport are going to be my daily driver suspension wise. From a dig the grip is really really good, I had traction kick in one time and that was due to all the effing sand still on the ground here in the suburbs of DC. If you like the OEM wheels, I highly recommend this set up and remember I only have driven the car for 20 miles. I will post pics this weekend and with more driving experience with the extra rubber

Here are some pics, will get actual pics of the stance later... Pay attention to one picture where the front wheel is turned as if your making a right turn and see how close it is to inside however I have not felt or seen any rubbing at all.

It looks like you can put a 10mm spacer in front and maybe 5mm in rear

Looks great! Any more driving impressions, traction off the line, etc? And no rubbing? That looks extremely close in that one pic...

10mm spacers in front will most likely rub when turning the steering. The clearance is already marginal with the 275 up front:

I had this issue on my E92 running 255/35R19 tires with 12mm spacers, they rubbed in the fender liner when steered.
