damn you are on point!

car is stock, still has dealer plates from when i bought it used a few months ago.


i plan on getting coilovers later. i'm not a fan of dumping it to the ground, but i am also not afraid to roll the fronts either

no drop at all yet? hmmm... The fronts will stick out if you put a 275 tire on em. The rears should be fine but you might need a little added camber.

I'd do a 245/45 up front and a 275/40 in the rear.

i'm going to put coilvers on before i mount the wheels on, and when i lower i am thinking maybe a 1-2 finger gap in between the fenders front and rear, but since this is my 1st experience with this car i'll have to see how it looks first before i know for sure)

i also want to run equal sizes on all 4 corners so i can rotate every time i change the oil.

i've got bout 1.5 months til i order tires and stuff, so i'll keep searching for info.

thanks for the help Gdup35sedan

that would be a waste of the rear when you can easily fit a 285. At the very least, i'd run a 265-40 tire all around

gotcha, well if you do a 1 finger gap, you should be fine with a 275-40 all around.

he said he was going to be running coilovers before mounting the wheels, otherwise, no, they wouldnt fit with the car at stock ride height.
