Timing is almost perfect as my Apex EC-7's (1/2" wider than OEM) are having supply chain issues and I won't see them until May.

Now, the question becomes "Which rear size to get"?

Here are the particulars:

Front: 19x9.5 ET28, MP4S 265/30/19

Rear: 19x10.5 ET 45. MP4S in either 285/30/19 or 295/30/19

Suspension: Slightly lowered on TCK coilovers.

So-- 285 or 295? I'm having issues with the DSC going bonkers when I hammer it due to a Carbahn flash and some other goodies. 295 has been the "approved" answer since there was no really good 285 choice. But now that Michelin's released it, that would keep the front/rear stagger the same as stock (i.e. 20 difference).

Thoughts?

TIA.

R.

Where can we purchase today? I am trying to track this down before they are sold out.

Also in Denver .. looking to grab the 255/285 combo.


EDIT: JUST REALIZED ITS NOT AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE UNTIL LATER. MISSED THAT DETAIL.
