You won't be disappointed Jay, the UV are really sticky and don't get greasy when driven hard in high temps.

A long hwy drive followed by some aggressive braking/cornering in 100+ deg temps had the Hankooks getting greasy (no tire squeal, just slipping & early ABS activation).

Hey TMV,

I've been looking into those iS flares for a bit now, I have the 3.0i. Is it easy to install?

I used small screws to attach, NOT cutting slids onto the trim. It's more secured.

Thanks for your insight......

Please let us know if you decides to go with these - I want to see them in person. Been eye-ing these forever, but never got the guts to pull the trigger.

DKL..... I will definitely follow-up and let you fellas know, along with pictures. I pretty sure I will be getting 30mm this weekend. I just have to decide in the next day or so.

jljljl................ that setup looks great on your 3.0. were you running 285's in the rear? 315's ? those look pretty wide.

That's not my picture, although I do have a 3.0i
That's TMV's baby. I can't recall what size he was running in the rear, I know I've read it somewhere on this site though.
I (only) run 255's, and his look much wider, so definitely above 255

Maybe TMV will chime in on his rear tires.......

I have 275's on the rear and my concern is that they might look to narrow even though the wheel/tire is out close to the rear fender......

We'll see shortly.

I might have to move back to the 285's. I'm not thrilled with the 275's..... there is a big WIDTH difference between my old 285's and these 275's.

Always wondered how the wider wheels felt. How are they?
pros/cons?
I sometimes debate on possibly going higher, maybe 285..
