You profile is important. Car? Model? It helps members answer your questions.

So I assume that you have VDC? The same size tires all around are not recommended with VDC.

On my otherwise stock 03 I'm running:

Front: 245-40/18
Rear: 275-40/18

I have no idea what my offset is but I love my setup but there's room for more drop.

VDC is doing fine with this as well.

Members with TCS run the same size tires all around. 90-percent have no problem with TCS.
