yup..
it will look good.
and if you roll your fenders you could put 25f 30r spacers and will sit real flush..

Im thinking of switching out to 30mm spaces on the rear

Front are already pre rolled, only rears need roling.


My old setup I had Z htechs with 15/20 spacers. Fenders were nor rolled yet.
Didn't roll my fenders until I put 25 on the rear but even now I'm thinking of putting 30 in the rear.

I wanna know this too. It seems like 245/40 and 255/40 are much closer in height than 245/35 and 255/40( 3.38/4.02 vs 3.86/4.02). 245/35 throws off the speedometer to read 65 at 68.23 where 245/40 reads 65 at 65.77 which seems more reasonable.

Also, i want to run spacers (im thinking 20/25mm all around) without lowering. Should i expect any rubbing issues with 245/40 & 255/40?

Thanks for educating a tire noob!
