Default 295s or 305s On lowered 18s anyone?

Looking for some pictures of s197s with 18s lowered on some fat tires. I'm pretty sure im getting rid of my 20s, they slow me down way too much.

Looking at 18x9 and 18x10 fr500s in anthracite. I want to put fat tires on the rear and give the car that aggressive look. Might even switch out the springs for sportlines. Post up some pictures please!

I have 18x9's with 255s F, 18x10's with 285s in back, not quite 295's but I like em, still kind of wish I went with at least 295's.....




Oh and H&R Super Sports are the springs

damn, 1.9'' rear... I don't think I can go that low with a one-piece driveshaft.. thats freaking slammed! I'd probably have to shorten the driveshaft to go that low...

I'll probably end up going with a 295-305/40 on 10'' rim and around 1'' front/1.25'' rear lowering.

I heard that anything over a 305/40 will rub.
