Default 255/40 on AP2V2 (should be 245/40)
I'm looking at a pair of Potenza RE-11's that are 255/40 which should be 245/40 to match OEM. What would be the pros/cons of putting these on AP2V2's?

Pro - Better Grip
Cons - Heavier and will throw off your speedo ever so slightly (larger diameter)

From what I have seen about the speedo, factory seems to be off enough to where a car with 255's is actually correct

I think I will go with 255 on my Ap2v1 wheels. Ia m sand blasting them right now and having them professionally painted.
