I put them on just now.. they look good but I’m really disappointed with the amount of poke out back with ET38. These Michelin pilot sport a/s 3’s are pretty wide. They are almost exactly the same width as the 245 Hankook R-S4’s.. the 8.5 width wheel and the extra bit of offset vs the 8” wide ET40 on the R-S4’s makes it very aggressive by comparison. no rubbing yet and the front is darn near perfect but still on the poke side. 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.
