If I could do it again, I would go with ET45 and put the 5mm spacers up front.
Again, perfect example of how the tire really is key to all this. This tire with ET35 would be a disaster. Definitely no go.

Interesting... this makes me think that 235/40 PS4S on 8.5" ET35 is probably just barely doable. If A/S 3+ is 0.1" wider than PS4S and you say that ET38 is just barely flush, then 3mm further out on a ~4mm less wide tire should also just barely be flush. This is gonna be tight either way... will update this thread in spring when I switch back to new FL-5s and Pilot Sport 4S.
