[QUOTE="Robert M, post: 12975273, member: 9628"] ^^^That is why I have not suggested using Michelin Super Sports with Alcoa's. I did not have any firm data, but my guess was that they ran on the wider side as did the Michelin Pilot Sport PS2's that came before them. "Wider" is not as much of concern on most wheels, but on an Alcoa it can be a "sticking out" situation. <<<This is not a big deal if the owner wants the "sticking out" look, but many don't. As I mentioned before, a more flat sidewall is a must with an Alcoa. My first mount would be a 10" rear, just one, if the tire bulges much at all, fall back and regroup on your tire choice if you do not want it to stick out. The fronts can be adjusted with the strut or caster camber plates, the rear..........no adjustments except for widening. The rear tire fit is the key. Invo 275/295 run narrower from what I have seen, and fit without so much "stick out". It depends upon the owner as to if "sticking out" is ok. But once the tire is mounted, the sticker is pulled off the tread, and it has rolled on the road, it is many times too late to return and regroup, you are stuck with a boat load of $$$ in tires you wish were a little different fit.
