Looks good. IMO would look better with a 285 out back, but then you would def have rubbing-I did with a +22 and 285....

I have Tanabe NF210, about 1.25 inch drop at all 4 corners, I haven't had any rubbing issues.

I ordered the exact same setup as you, same sizes, offsets, and tire sizes (except I got the Toyo T1-Rs). Just an FYI, you may want to consider getting 255s in the front. The 245s are pretty damn stretched. Of course, I'm running Toyo's which are a bit narrower than the BFG's, but just something for you to consider. You can search and take a look at some of my older posts for pix.

Also, I just put on 5mm spacers in the rear and it looks a LOT better now. Otherwise the car had a bulldog-like stance (looked wider in the front, narrower in the back). Your effective offset on the rear will be +24 using the spacer. Also, I'm currently on Hotchkis springs and no rubbing with my current setup. Anyways, just thought I'd let you know.

Thanks for the input BhashaZ,going to look into getting the spacers.I actually switched my order to the Toyo's and ordered Tanabe springs!Would you still go w/ the 255's in the front?

Sweet ride by the way!Can't wait to get my rims...

Thanks. I would definately go with 255s if you're going T1-R. My Toyos in 245s on the front are SUPER stretched. With the BFG's, it would be close and you can perhaps get away with running a 245, but I would still probably try the 255s. The rears are also currently stretched, but not as much as the rears. If I go with the BFG's next time, I think the rear should look better even though I'm probably going to keep 275/35.

I am still not sure what brand/tires to go with next time:

255/35 and 275/35 Toyo T1-R
255/35 and 275/35 BFG
245/35 and 275/35 BFG

Good look with your set!
