I dont have pics, but i can say that with the 555s in 285/40, you can hardly tell they are bigger. They buldge just a little bit more, but nothing bad. I ran em for years like that, until i needed tires and no one had the 285s in stock.

I was going to get continnental dw's, but decided against them. In person they look like a knobby truck tire, but in low profile. I got the nitto 555's instead. I still haven't pushed the tires too hard to see how they compare to the sumitomo's that the car came with, but the sumitomo's were like all season tires. I don't think the difference in price is worth it for 285's vs 275's. I wanted a slight bulge, but just kept the stock size. I guess it depends where you live and what weather you encounter. Here in central CA we don't have snow or ice so I opted for summer tires and we don't get too much rain.
