REDROCKET Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 I have a 2011 V Coupe with OEM wheels. I would like to upgrade to Pilot Sport 265/35ZR-19's front and 305/30ZR-19's rear using these rims. Has anyone done this upgrade and did the tires fit without rubbing? I have been advised to use this front/rear match dut to their identical overall height to avoid any traction control code issues. Any advice will be appreciated - REDROCKET. P.S. If anyone is interested in viewing the carbon fiber upgrades to the front and rear of my ride I will post some photos (advice on how to post pics will help too!) Thanks.

Bruce Nunnally Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 I am interested in the carbon fiber trim. The best way to post images is to put them somewhere like a photo site and then link to them using the "Insert Image" gadget. You can actually upload images here but due to bandwidth constraints the image file size is limited, while the photo sites allow more leeway.

airmike Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 I want to see pics of the whole car, not just the carbon fiber parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REDROCKET Posted January 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 Thanks for the replies, I will try the photo sites mentioned to post some full car shots. FYI, all the carbon is real, not the hydro print you may have seen on some sites. Basically I replaced all the grey plastic parts such as the front splitter, fog lamp bezels and rear bumper inserts. It took me about a year to find the company (KPE) that made the pieces for my ride (my car was the "test mule" for the fog lamp and rear bumper parts). The quality is outstanding. I have also installed KPE's stainless muffler system which I am really happy with. My car is used for the manufacturer's web site to model the carbon pieces and the muffler(the red coupe shown in the driveway). To view, go to kpe-products.com, click on "products" and then click on the "V Coupe" section to bring up the assorted products. You can click on the photos to get larger views (the carbon parts look even better than the shots show). If anyone is interested in these carbon parts for your car contact Jason at (480)720-1743. In the meantime I will try to get some full car shots with all the parts installed (the rear end pic of the muffler didn't have the rear bumper inserts on at that time).

REDROCKET Posted January 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 Thanks to Texas Jim, Bruce and airmike for helping me get the pics of REDROCKET posted! Any feedback on my front & rear tire upgrade? My original info on the upgraded sizes I mentioned came from the "tire guy" at D3. I wanted to see if anyone else has used these sizes (265/35ZR19 front 305/30ZR19 rear)on the OEM rims. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce Nunnally Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 I like the carbon fiber trim. On the ones I have seen in person, it looks a lot more polished & complete than just the black rubber trim.

REDROCKET Posted January 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 More REDROCKET. Are there any CTS owners in/around the Detroit area viewing this post that would be interested in forming a cruise nite for the summer? Might be fun.
