ive got Nitto 555 245/40-18 front, 275/40-18 rear.

comments: the teins dont lower the car quite as much as i wish it had, but i guess living in Michigan the roads are so crappy that any lower and i would have no front bumper right now. its enough to take care of the gap, but it doesnt look "sick" like cars w/ coils do when their lowered. also i wish i had gone with a wider rear tire, i am switching to a 285/35/18 in the spring. (so if anyone wants to buy 2 slightly used nitto's let me know)

other than that i like the setup.

looks really nice! why are you just switching the rear tires? does it have to do with the tire wall height? does the "35" in the tire size bring the height down a bit?

yes the tire wall height bothers me a bit, so since i know i can go wider in the back, im moving up to 285/35 which will hopefully look more "low profile"

Thought so... the height bothers me to! I take it theres no need to replace the fronts as well is there? Just the rears should make it more even with the front right?

Doesnt it affect the TCS and the speedometer if you change the diameter of the wheels?

yeah the 245/40 on the front looks low profile enough for me, only the rear bothers me.

the TPS wasnt affected by the new wheels/tires, still reads fine. the speedometer is affect by maybe a couple MPH, nothing thats going to get you a speeding ticket for 10 over when your speedo says you were going the limit.

mdacko, so you will end up with 245/40 front and 285/35 rear... right?

Also, do you think going from 40 to 35 in the rear will make the difference in height as far as looks go? Thx!
