Figured I'd add some bad cell pics of a 245/40 RE-11 on an 18x9.5 +38 Enkei GTC-01. Not much stretch to this combo, clears easily with a light roll in the rear as well.
A comparison of the 265/35 Eagle F1 Unmounted next to a mounted 235/40 RE760 Bridgestone on a 9.5" wheel. Meat.

I got my Hankook RS-3s in a week ago in the 255/40 size on stock rims. Very sexy tires. Not as aggressive looking as the NT05s but good looking still.
I still need to take pictures and post them. Traction is absolutely amazing, they make the NT05 seem like an all season and I loved the Nittos, its hard to believe I would ever say that about them. There is no doubt these have the highest traction available in a streetable tire as the auto-x guys and others have been saying.
They're so soft, they pick up small rocks and will make your head spin on a hard stop.
Enough about the performance, I'll post pictures of both the NT05s and the RS-3s. The RS-3s look good but I would never expect the kind of performance they're capable of by their looks while with the NT05 you expect it to be a performer by looking at it.

Like this thread very much! Too bad I didn't see this before I bought 225/40s for a set of XXR 527s last summer. Doesn't take much for them to get curbed or chipped...when the wife drives it ANYWHERE!
I was given a set of used Dunlop tires off a Beamer with low miles. They are 225/45/17 and 245/40/17. I'm putting them on the stock rims while getting the XXRs fixed.
I'm interested in what you guys think of the 225/45s front and 245/40s rear? Or visa versa?

255 fit just fine. 265 or 275 might even fit without issues, but in mot sure

Have ran 255's on the OEM Base 08 TL rims but they don't look as beefy since the car is big.. But these 225's on 8" rims look and perform great..

Lots of nice set ups here. Hopefully in the future I can throw on a 18x9.5 +38 wheel with 265/40/18s on my TL. We will see how it goes. I need a better paying job. Haha. But for now my old car with an older setup.
My parents have an Auto TL and it's a night and day difference driving the two... of course their's is stock.

For performance I have an Injen CAI, RV6 v3 J-pipe and RV6 True Dual exhaust and FlashPro. On the dyno it put down, 250 WHP and 223 WTQ. Exterior I have front and side A-Spec and the rear is a stock Type-S bumper to fit the quad tips. Thinking about ISC coils and HFPC's for the next mods.

The TL has to feel like an entirely different animal compared to the RSX. What made you move to the TL? Mods for this car don't come cheap. You did good with getting the 6 speed
