OP - Can you get a shot like this? I would love to see the 315 in comparison to my 295

Haha, no rush. Just very curious about the differnce. It took me a few weeks to decide on going with the 295 over 305 or 315.

No rubbing for you even lowered?

Curious about this myself...I have the same wheels/tires but still stock height. I have a set of 1.4" BMR springs in the garage but I'm thinking it might slightly rub going that low.

Car looks great, BTW.

It is very close but there is no Rubbing at all. You will be fine with 1.4 lowering springs I would go with them over 2 inch springs just because I'd feel more safe and you won't rub on everything like I do.

And I'd call factory reproductions they will hook you up, I talked to Jason he was awesome to work with and gave me a great deal on shipping.

I have 275/35 and 295/35 with stock 1LE wheels. In the pics below, the car is lowered around 2.25".

Ride heights were front = 635mm and rear = 640mm (measured from bottom lip of wheel to fender with 20 in. wheels).

Camber was 1.3* front and 1.0* rear.

I did not have any rubbing issues whatsoever. Hope this helps.

What will best fill the wheel well gap if not going to lower the car?
The 285/35-20 for the front looks great now for the rear should I get 295 or 305 or 315?

If you are not going to lower the car at all... 315's will obviously fill the wheel well more:

315-295 = 20 mm difference in tire width.
20mm x 35% = 7mm

So 315s will give you an extra 7mm of sidewall height compared to the 295's. That's roughly a quarter of an inch more sidewall.

I'm lowered on coilovers where my back tire is even with the wheel well and running 315 NT05 tires with no issue. Not sure if these are wider or not

Thanks for meeting up the other night. Wheels look good. The 315 were a little to tight for me with my camber settings. I switch the wheels out when racing so decided to keep the rear negative camber setting.

Damn, waited too long for Costco, 295s became available while the 285s sold out. Amazon sold out of 285s, too. Ordered the 295s and got the 285s from Tirerack. Still saved $140, without the $70 4-tire rebate.

For the 285s, Amazon would have been almost the same price as TireRack with shipping. Amazon Prime and TireRack are still the cheapest internet sites for Hawaii. Tire Rack has most of the sizes in stock most of the time.

Thanks for the insight...gonna throw the 1.4" springs on once the snow melts.
