I think 255/45/18 up front and 295/45/18 out back looks absolutely perfect. I saw a few cars with that setup and had to go with it myself. The car rides great with these tires. Some people are so scared to go away from the stock sizes. People do it to trucks all the time. Actually, they put a lot larger than stock tires on. We're talking just over an inch. I've never had anyone say they didn't look good.

Scarlett is what inspired me first!

And I was referring to you when I said I've seen some people run 255/45 and 295/45.

Can't wait to get them on with my ProKit.

I had Roush rear springs only at the time.

JMO...but I think the FR500 wheels look better than the CT-R wheels.




Too sparkly here....looks like crap!

I used to run 255/45/18, 295/45/18 but recently switched to a slightly shorter tire out back. I loved the way it looked but the tire was too tall for my aplication. It was actually hurting my performance at the track. I now have 295/40/18's which is a very hard size to find unless you want to pay an arm and a leg for it. Here are some pics...

This is the 295/45's










Here is the new...
