Did you have to do anything to prevent rubbing with that setup? Looks great and thinking it might be a good mod when my current tires are for R&R.

The rear was a slight problem. The tire rubbed on the inner plastic fender well. Used a die grinder. Fixed.

If stock 2013 pp no H&R springs, would I be able to run those 275 40 20's without rub, even on aggressive turn ins?

The offset of the wheel will tell the truth. NO less than 30. Tint is 20%. Car never sees rain-only dust and bugs. I use Wizards mist and shine and a life long user of Race Glaze polish.

When I need tires I want to go up to the 275 40 20 size, they look fat.
I use Klasse 2 step in the Spring, then Collinite 476s as my go to wax, once a month or so during the 3 seasons. It is an outside car. I put a last wax on in fall, Collinite protector. Shiny as glass protected too. Yours looks great. Thanks for the info

I believe you may have some rubbing with the rear fender liners but that can be remedied with a steady hand and a dremel. 255's will fit with not issues.

Don't be so ******* yourself David - you're not an idiot, I think the majority of people would agree the 245 are way to narrow for this car! I hate having my wheel sit "inside," the fender. Therefore, I think Jason has the perfect setup in my opinion! 275 all around meets the fender flush and looks OEM! That's my next mod!
How wide of a rim did yall go?

2013 PP stock suspension here with 20x9.5 et35s and 275/40s no rubbing at all.

275s are too wide for stock wheels, 9" would work but 9.5" would be better
Since this thread was brought back to life I’ll add I did rub on the fender liner in the rear when the H&R springs were installed.
