    I am looking at a set of premium wheels that are 19x9 running 245/35's and 20x12 rears with 325/25. This was a set from HRE so I tend to trust their research but would love to hear from anyone else regarding pros and cons of this setup. thanks

    I have that set up - 255/30 front, 345/25 rear, I love it. No issues at all. Only 'cons' if you will, the rear tires are impossible to find, and run $750 EACH! (Pirelli)

    Just a nice well cared for 430...at least until I saw Rons gorgeous silverstone Scud. That had me all turned around for a couple of days but I need to sell something first so will give the standard 430 a try first. How have you been?

    Doing well. The "standard" F430 is a great car. Just don't drive a scud - I did and it was a very expensive test drive :)

    Congrats on the new ride!

    Great setup but really heavy; although you can get Nitto INVO's for less than say Pirelli's I would do Toyos R888 245/35/19 - 315/30/20 which are grippy in similarity with PZERO Corsas yet at INVO prices.

    I do agree that the ideal size on those wheels would be 255/30/19 - 345/25/20; same size we run on Murcielagos.

    My prior mentioned set up is to relplicate diameter/revs/etc of the original OEM set up...otherwise your ABS goes nuts.

    I drove one on the track for 5 or 6 laps. Hard to really judge though as there are so many things that demand attention. Seems to be a lot of them for sale so when the time is right I am sure I will find a good one, although there are some 458's that are getting pretty attractive. Have you driven that one yet?

    Clean scuds are actually getting pretty scarce. When I noticed prices were drifting upwards, I pulled the trigger.

    458s are great cars and superior to scuds in every way except one - driver enjoyment IMO. I've always lusted over the scud and merely "liked" the 458. The decision for me was easy - I chose the scud.
