You dont want a heavy *** wheel with huge tires.
What size wheel and what offset? You got new ones since yours were stolen?

I like my 295/30's but I think I might try a 305/30 setup next time around.

rears are easy, finding fronts without being too small is tough. Right now at 255/35 and 295/30 I'm at 26" tire height front and rear with a slight bigger stretch in the front so I imagine its a smidgen smaller (similar to stock). I would like to get a 265 or a 275 up front, but I just dont think it will work and or fit...I dunno, I'll worry about it when the time comes.

275/30 should fit and be ok on your front wheels.

you think I should keep the front/rear stretch similar and go with 275/30 front and stay 295/30 rear or move up to a more square sidewall setup in the rear with the 305/30?

I'm not in need of the extra grip because I am mostly stock, performance wise and dont ever plan on going FI, but I do enjoy a grippy car.

Yeah, 275/30 front and 305/30 rear should work. I'd try to borrow a set of 305s or buy a cheap used set that you could resell if you had to. Your high offsets should be ok, but it may be close.

Thats your best bet.


To the OP, if you want grip and your basically stock as you say. Get a rear diff, something like an OS Giken. I run 275 NT05's , NA 255hp, and have a hard time stinning them with the diff installed. No problems spinning them when i had the VLSD.

BP - how did this ever turn out?

I'm also interested in chatting about a kit.
