And..... after MUCH research, I've decided to go back to stock-sized tires..... but the tread width and section width between tire manufacturers varies WILDLY..... I had to start digging into the technical specifications of each tire manufacturer, each tire, and figure out who made the widest street tire in stock sizes.

Why? Because OEM rims are 9.5 and 10.5 inches wide, respectively.

My wheels are 10.5 and 12.0 inches respectively.....

So to minimize the "stretched" tire look as much as possible..... I needed to find the manufacturer and model.... that is the widest, in OEM sizes.

PS4s? Nope
P Zeros? Nope

The winner?

Continental Conti Sportconstact 7

In the exact same size (315/30/22)..... the Pzeros have a tread width of 10.8 inches. The Contis? 11.6 inches. On a 12 inch wide rim? that'll work just fine.

Just over $1500 USD, they are on the way.

As soon as the wheels come back from powdercoat (satin black), they are going back on the car.
