You could, if you got R-disk front. Brake caliper clearance is determined more by disk/pad choice and spoke design, not really offset at all in most cases.

What are the specs on those wheels on that s2k?

Is it easier to achieve an aggressive look like that on that car?

255 will look better, the 245 will be looking a little to stretched in the rear, 255 is perfect on 10.5

well you do know that different tires stretch differently. So no stretch is ever gonna be the same unless you run the same tires.

My Bridgestone RE050As stretch terribly. Sidewall is too thick and strong. Also, I've noticed that a smaller sidewal height (i.e. 245/40 as opposed to 245/35) stretch more.

I will be going with different tires next time around.

They are the OEM ones. Dude, my camber is at neg 3.4. I'm gonna go through tires like a fat chick goes through chocolate cake.

Federals are cheap and stretch...sounds like a winning combo to me.

federals run big though remember that 235 will fit like a 245.
