Nice. That's the exact tire I plan on getting for the rear. Cool to see what it looks like and it looks sick. I like how these are not low profile. I like meat!

What are your fronts?

I also like how the car sits. It's funny b/c I normally don't like lowering (it makes me think ghetto) but in this case it looks good. Hmm.

Maybe it's an illusion but are your rear tires smaller than the front?

Also, to those of you who have Eibach springs. Is there any reason you went with Eibach as opposed to Steeda, FRPP, etc? Just curious. And how much did they lower?

I purchased my 20'' 275/35 rears for looks/handling and traction as a last thought. Now traction has come to the forefront.

The 35 series still handle at speed really well but how often do you need to drive that fast!? some 305/40's would be perfect.

Just an illusion. Same size front and rear. I went with the Eibach because of the recommendation of my mechanic. Dropped it inch to inch and a half after they settled.
