- 18/18 18/19 big wheels
Prime is dead
I was recently made aware that there is a PSS available in 225/35/18! Apparently it is not on tire rack.
In case anyone still looks here.

Any idea where you can find these for purchase online? Went to a couple sites and didn't see them for sale. Would love these as my new set

Really??? Its about time!!!
I wouldn't put a 295 PSS on a 10" wheel.

Billy are you considering making high-clearance fender liners?
In progress...taking forever. Maybe by the end of next month.
Thanks.. I will standing by. Seems much better than the spray liner.
My BC Forged wheels were made with 225/40 fronts in mind. I went with 18x8.5 +44 and 19x9.5 +35. The front I wanted to be able to dial in with a spacer if necessary.
Currently I have Pirelli Zero Nero GT tires in 225/35 and 275/30 with stock fenders & liners. No issues but these are my interim tires. I am thinking RS3 or maybe Michelins.
It is nice to see the PSS arrive in 225/35 but I like having more sidewall height so that is more of a fallback plan.

IIRC the pirellis have a really small overall diameter for that size. Pirellis seem to have a small sidewall in general...
[MENTION=30599]prym8[/MENTION], in your current setup are you running with no spacers?
.the horror...................
Yeah I am not sure how this compares to others (there are very few other 225/35 tire choices as we all know). The front on a 8.5" is stretched a bit too.
225/35-18 front OD: 24.1"
275/30-19 rear OD: 25.4"
That is according to Tire Rack.
Anyway these Nero Zero GTs aren't anything great so back to discussing bigger/better tires..

Yes. No rubbing, with KW V3.

Anyone here running the Michelin pilot sport cup 2 in 235/40-18 in front?
Seems this is the smallest front size in the cup 2s.

For the rear Sport Cup 2 in 275-35 what is up with the 'Mercedes' sizing? I searched a bit and couldn't figure it out.
What couldn't you figure out?
What 'MO Mercedes' means in the specs.
It was designed for a certain Mercedes model. You can have multiple tires of the same listed size having varying (actual) tread widths, construction, compound, etc... Since the 275/35-19 is only available in the Mercedes version, that's what you haveto go with. When there are multiple options in a size, you need to look at the actual tread widths and section widths on tire rack to make a decision.
Could someone kindly post the link at tirerack showing the measurements for tire OD?
I didn't see it here

So of course, they don't have the OD for the 235/40-18. Boooooooooooooooooo
Probably the same as the pss
rear 19x12 on 305:
Front 18x8.5
Front 18x8.5

The Clarion NSX build uses a 225/40/18 front Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tire.
I'm curious how this works (ignoring TCS issues)
Notice it's on the DF fenders
