Interesting Tom........ do you know what the offsets are on those rims by chance? Are you still using stock size rubber on those 1/2 inch wider rims? If the offset is enough to push the rim out away from the hub enough the extra 1/2 inch in rim width would open the door to potentially using 285 35 20 front and 335 30 20 rears!

my rear tire is still only 295 but as you know easily could go to a 315 which I will when I need new tires
265 front
this is all factory

I noticed in another listing your asking for wheel/tire help....I would go with a wheel and then have them powdercoated a textured black powder.
I had the same issue, my Modulare 22's that were a brushed tintcoat would be gray to black within a few days, it was driving me mad. I powdercoated them a textured black matte finish, and now you never see the dust because the wheels are black anyways
Just my .02.

Sonax will help with Brakedust but it will still require intervention.
Black Wheels will still show Brakedust and require intervention as well.
I have black wheels on mine and have to use Sonax to clean them. I have heard that there is a product such as Amour All wheel ? (brake dust repellant) that can be applied every so often and will reduce the amount of work to clean them. I havent tried it yet but may do so soon.
The truth is..all of it will require intervention at some point.
