And wait why do you have 255's on your oem 17s in the FRONT? That's way too big for OEM's for the rear, even more so for the front..You have a sedan?

I don't know about that setup, I was just going for performance so I wasn't looking to be low

I didn't need a camber kit, I was barely able to get the alignment in spec

Hmm that's interesting, our overall diameters are nearly identical. I plan to drop on full revised Z suspension, but I needed to roll fenders.

255 in the front is way too big. But anyway how much meat are left on the tires of the rays? If you have money to purchase new tires, I'd do so.

Tires only get worse and worse so I don't know why you would want to start with degraded tires

I'd go with 235/40/19 front (identical overall diameter size to OEM), and 245/40/19 rear (speedometer/odometer will be 1.5% slower than OEM, but at least you'll have a nice straight sidewall on the rear. But for example at 60 mph, it's 1.5% slower so you'll actually be going 60.9 mph. Not a big deal)
