I just ordered tires from Tirerack.com. Kumho Ecsta was the only brand I could remotely afford so I was limited to their sizes. 285/35 on the rear, and 275/30 on the front. Should look pretty spiffy. I'm still waiting on my PJ center caps to show up. I have to buy TPMS band still yet and I guess a lowering kit and alignment are in the pipe as well. Should be good times. I'll update with pics when its all done. Probably 3-4 weeks should be about right. Waiting on taxes for the rest of the stuff.

I hope you mean 275/35/19 on the front. 275/30 will be WAY TOO SHORT!

BUT, the Gurney car is setup for racing. Take a look:

Those front tires of yours will be almost 2" shorter than stock! They'll not only look tiny in the wheel well, but it's potentially dangerous to use such a different size from stock, with all the electronic items we have now. The Gurney car was stripped of these, no TCS, no ABS...
I STRONGLY suggest you move up to the 275/35/19 size.

They were delivered this afternoon. I'll have to look at them when I get home and decide on whether or not to send them back. Why does everything have to be so freaking hard? At least I dont need them right away.
