DISCLAIMER: I did not pay full retail (that work for your Jason?)

I was eager to try these out because I have Falken's (a different model) on my drift car and am pleased with those (I did pay retail on those).

My stock PS2's lasted 25K miles with several track days on them. I was pleased with the ride quality, quietness and wet traction. Dry traction was pretty good, but the car was under-tired. The tires were also down to about 25%.

I went to the wider size then removed the spacers. Didn't like the look. I put the spacers back on and to my surprise, they still fit.

There is the tiniest, tiniest bit of rubbing on the left rear with passengers and a full tank of fuel, but there are no abrasion marks on the tires after 300 miles, so I'm not sweating it.

Initial impressions: the wider tires seem to provide better grip in street driving. This may be a function of the wider section width and/or more tread (these tires are new, the PS2's were well worn)

The tire is very quiet and comfortable. I'd easily match them against the PS2's in these categories.

The PS2's have a treadwear of 220, the Falken's have a treadwear of 300. In theory, that should mean that they're not as grippy on the track, but other factors including sidewall stiffness, rubber compound, etc. might have some influence.

The FK452's are about $100 less per tire in this size than the PS2's, which is nice.

Obviously, I need a track day at one of my tracks to give a more in-depth review.

In short, if you guys are looking for 275 30 19's and want to run spacers, it appears that this works.

I used H&amp;R 10MM rear spacers, 5MM fronts. Pics are in the URL below. Car is riding on KW Version III coilovers with Hotchkis sways and Milltek exhaust. Yes, the brackets attached to my windshield are for cameras....I'm filming a new show tomorrow involving exotics, driving, and girls in bikinis.<ul><li><a href="http://item.slide.com/r/1/0/i/UjE3_2J-0j8bqph0RWJg2sntPNmkRnEq/">http://item.slide.com/r/1/0/i/UjE3_2J-0j8bqph0RWJg2sntPNmkRnEq/</a</li></ul>

Funny you mentioned that...looking at the pics I said the exact same thing.

I know it'd work with stock 255 35 19...and probably with the 275 30 19's too. I might have to look into that.

Works great...I'm using with a much heavier Canon XHA1 HDV cam and it works great!!!

On a completely stock car the front wheels look just a touch farther out than the rears. And coming into work this morning I was driving down into a valley, when the suspension compressed going up the hill I got a very slight rub on the drivers side rear probably against the outside well liner. Not something to worry about and may not even happen to another RS4 it was so slight.

I would say from an aesthetics standpoint an 8mm spacer in front and a 10mm in back would be perfect. ECS doesn't make an 8mm but H&amp;R does IIRC.

with a fully loaded car. the only thing u need to do for the front is to remove the fender clips and ur good

Because there's not a 10MM in front, the front isn't as wide as the back, BUT I am wider than stock.

With the 255's and these spacers, the car did not understeer nearly as bad as stock.

Ideally thought, I think you're spot on...the car needs 10MM up front to even out the track width.

you have changed the track width more on rear than frot - basically dialing in more understeer.

Great people to deal with, fast shipping, top quality stuff.

I've worked on motion pictures and they use the same stuff.<ul><li><a href="http://www.filmtools.com/filiuncamofo.html">http://www.filmtools.com/filiuncamofo.html</a</li></ul>

It is a pretty heavy camera body. Would it hold the camera body and lens?

and it should hold just adequately...

if you want to go all out though, you can also get a hot-shoe mount as well...but then you'd have to figure out a way to fire it.

:)

Nothing's for free any more. Not even at Discount Tire!

Probably depends how much you drop it. I combined Stasis suspension with 10 mm front and rear and it's spectacular, but the fronts rub under wicked hard cornering. I will have to raise the car a little. I'm surprised Craig could accommodate 275s with the dropped car. I'm curious what his height is. I have to say I like the look. The fill seems similar to mine.

=-P

i rub both front fenders with these sized tires.. i had to remove that screw in the inner fend and then roll them.

What about 8mm all the way around? I feel like 10mm is pushing it up front. Although, what's another 2mm?

Given that these cars understeer?
