Wheels are officially off the car. I just need to give them a little polish and I'll put new pictures up.

All wheels are now polished. I spent 2 hours per wheel! Ouch! I will add pictures in a few days.

I am just curious and I may just be an idiot, but why didn't you just go with a 285 to eliminate some of the stretch and go with the 245 in the front

your set up:
275/35 is 9.63 cm high
235/35 is 8.23 cm high
so your rear is 1.4 cm higher than the front

275 tire = 10.8 in wide tire - 10 in rim = 0.8 in
235 tire = 9.2 in wide tire - 8 in rim = 1.2 in
so your front tire is 0.40in or 10.16mm wider than the rear when compaired to the rim.

with a 285 and 245 combo
285/30 would be 8.55 cm high
245/35 would be 8.57 cm high
the rear would be 0.02 mm shorter
I dont think 0.02mm is a notiable distance in hight IMO

285 tire =11.22 in tire - 10 in rim = 1.22
245 tire = 9.64 in tire - 8 in rim = 1.64
the front would be 0.42in or 10.67mm wider than the rear when compared to the rim.

So over all wouldn't the 285's and 245's be a better fit?

I know, I know, I have way too much time on my hands lol

Nice car by the way!

Too much time indeed, haha. Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3s don't come in 285s, so that's an easy answer to your question

Why eagle 1 for the inners and mothers for the lips? I used Wenol with pretty good success.
