Does anyone know how large of a sideway a 255/50 will be?

I am using KW Variant 3 coilovers. I am not sure how much lower than stock I am to be honest. I didn't have adjustable rear control arms so I lowered it in the rear till I had the static camber I wanted and then dropped the front a 1/4 inch from that.

Picture from the autocross this weekend.

Why do you think 255/35 was a mistake over 265/35?

just feel like it would have filled in the wheel wells that much better but I could have gone with a different 255 that runs a little wider. the pics from the other forum members in this thread running 265's just look better to me lol.

Cool.

The reason I ask is I'm not 100% decided on whether I want to run a 255 or 265 when my wheels come in.

they say 255 is plenty of rubber on the road and a 265 is overkill but it looks damn good
