any reason you did only 245's and not 255's?
No reason, I just had the 245's already so I decided to use them.

But interesting, but not surprising about this thread and that comment, is I was using a 255 NT01 on my stock BBSs.

Probably a little ambitious. I have another thread about the problems I had with uneven wear. Do you find the RS3 sidewall 'soft' as mentioned above? I am in the middle of deciding on what to try next, and it won't be 255 NT01s.
Yeah in the summer you can really notice the soft sidewall but in the winter not so much. Biggest RS3 I would run on a 10" rim is a 255.

i might go to 17x10's for ****s and giggles, but im not sure a spring/shock setup will have enough inboard clearance.

Took some pics of my 255 RS3's on stock wheels thinking it MIGHT help your decision.









FWIW, I run higher than normal pressure and think they are perfectly acceptable all-around
