I dont understand these abbreviations and grammar. You took one letter out(or added in some cases) of each word..... did it save that much time? FALE.

No. Do not know your offsets or tire sizes...but with those wheels I can already tell you, you will not rub.

All of your questions could be answered by a few easy searches. Or even browsing the sticky threads in the suspension and wheels and tires subforums.

Oh, great. Just what we need is another rimmed up Z dragging it's underside and front lip around. Chances are pretty good that no one in your life that really matters will be impressed by any mods you do to your car.

Because rear wheel drive cars typically have larger tires in the REAR than in the front. Why would your front tires be larger (285) than the rears (245)?
