If someone does it for the looks as well, it still looks like crap because of the conservative stock offsets.

And omg, that guy that put 315's on his G. What is this, a Viper?

He just wants more performance and doesn't care about the bling... or he likes the stock bling as it is...

He went from 7.5inches to 10inches. Like I said I like the stock look.
Once its all done I'll take pictures & give my report.

As for offsets, I'll need a caculator to figure it out.

Right now I have 25mm H&R spacers on my rear wheels. I measured the clearance of the back of my tires, they're about 3in from any obstructions(suspension stuff)

So I figure 2 inches wider on my rims will still give me enough space underneath.

I love the spacers. They bring the tires out to fill the wheelwells just right. IMO!

I need new tires and I have car lowered about 1 inch.

So for their new tires, did you all just rebuy your stock setup or did you go 245/35/19 Front & 275/35/19 Rear?

If you went with the larger setup, was their a noticeable "drive" difference?

HOWEVER - if you go to Tirerack.com and check for alternate sizing recommendations, they will agree that the 245's and 275 are right ...as well as most tires shops.
