I'm still trying to figure out how the hell the tires fit so differently when they have the same specs. I know a big part of it is the bead, right next to the rim. The stock tires have a huge bead, and that shadow right above the rim edge makes a huge difference. The PS4S doesn't have that huge bead. But still, they look very different here beyond that bead shadow. I guess it's just the lighting.

The street setup with this camber needed 15mm front and 7.5mm rear spacer to be nice and flush. The 12/10 spacers are good for stock camber (1.5 front, 1.8 rear)
Thanks. Now with those camber settings and spacers, any rubbing?

Same angle and everything lol.

Assuming we're both at the correct PSI I would chalk it up to lighting and the texture of the sidewall. PSS is glossier and PS4S is more matted.

Yup. I bet it's a combination of several things, just so strikingly different.

Absolutely not. I'm lowered by 1/2inch front and 3/4 rear. Stock tire size.

Oh cool. Going to be lowering mine soon, so looking at what spacers will work best.
