be careful! The paint might chip. Mine did but my buddy owns a body shop so he hooked me up by sanding and clearing the edges before the paint chipped it's way outside.

Okay most of the answers to your questions are in this thread. Since you've either missed it or didn't read every page, I'll give you the quick 411. I am assuming you are running the same size wheel as we are 19x9.5 +17 F 19x10.5 +18 R.

1) would 30 in the front fit on brembo??? Tire size has nothing to do with brake clearence. Your wheels do. This size will clear most BBKs.

2) also i have eibach springs on a G and cant really decide either to put 255/285 or 245-275. Doesn't matter. With this offset lowered you will have to roll your rears. 255 fronts clear like a champ. It's the rears you have to worry about. If you are going to roll might as well go 285s.

3) now with this size of wheels and tires, how are the road noise??? No problems. Running Toyos and it's much better than the stock RE40s. Smoother, softer, quieter.

Thanks for the info JDMFairlady... Everythink you said was clear except for the +30 offset in the front. Looking at some more pics, people with non-brembo's seems to have +30 and +17 for brembo (correct me if im wrong). Why did you go with 285/30 in the rear? Why not 285/35...

I do not have Brembos. I am +17 front +18 rear. I went with 285/30/19 because I have not rolled my rears. 285/35/19 will rub even at stock height.
