275/40 is way too tall of a tire. 275/30 would be much better. What are your wheel specs?

10.5+22? If so then 275 or 285 won't fit. You'll need a 265/30 or 245/35. Need to dial in your camber and do some fender work as well.

I may have told you the wrong offset i'm not really sure...i got the wheels with 245/35 up front and 275/30 in the rears...was told they can go up to 305. I shall research

Thank you everyone for your responses. Actually today, my mechanic called me and said the bead popped on the rear tires. I've been hearing that 225/35 or 225/30 is kind of risky on a 10. Is this true? If this is case should I go up to a 235/30 or 235/35?

I think a wider tire would look better. It looks too stretched. The concave of the tire's edge is a little strange looking. I really cannot comment on the proper size for that rim though.

Looks great 1low! I really want to install air suspension at some point. Sorry if you mentioned this already - but are you still using the OEM struts/shocks?

Jackus - the coupe is looking sick! Did you get a chance to review the air zenith suspension setup yet? I've been looking forward to getting more info from first hand experience.
