I will try to get some day time pics... also sorry for the thread hijack haha.
I will probably go the PSS route myself. But I personally could never do black wheels because the car always looks like it's riding on donuts. The wheel design is barely visible.

While this may be true in pictures, the wheel design is COMPLETELY visible in person. Although I think it would be too much on a black car, for my taste anyways.

Been running Nitto NT555 for a year now. I am a track junky, and surprisingly I still got another year to go with these tires. I am shocked to even see them last this long through the abuse I put them through.

on a 335is with DCT it is very hard to heat up tires without having to stress on the transmission.

So, with little effort I am able to pull off 1.80ish 60' on these tires on an open differential.

I'm also running the Nitto Invos and they seem to hook up surprisingly well and my car has rev3, AA race fmic, AA charge pipe w/ bov and AR dps. They work well enough that I'm changing the Dunlop stars on my 600+hp Z32 to the Invos.

I think the tire width is the problem perhaps ? If I recall correctly you were running smaller than a 275 ?

I put 10MM Spacers on with a 285 on the rear, I may go down to a 3MM spacer and try a 295 or possibly 305 (doubt that will fit)......295 will fit for sure.

How's the wet traction and road noise?

I've read mixed personal reviews.

I'm running 19 staggered and its a daily driver. 265 rear.

Looking for sticky and quiet. I could sacrifice wet traction as I don't drive in rain or go fast.

Thanks.

I also have rolled fenders, I honestly think a 305 will fit. I am going to find out. I logged last night and still spinning, not as bad but still spinning worth all the miss I have and 285's. Wheel hop however is completely gone!

You sure a 285 won't fit? Even with rolled fenders?
