This is just off the top of my head but I think the fronts were 245/45 and the rears were 255/40, all 18 inch of course

I know I probably could have gotten wider for the rear, maybe down the line when I have to replace tires I'll go like 275 or something.

You're right Onyx, I had the sidewall numbers reversed, they are 245/40 fronts, and 255/45 rear.

no big deal dude, just know your speedo is going to read a lil slow w/ that size tire on the rear because its an inch taller than stock.

Thats OK, once I put gears in my speedo will be off anyway. Still haven't decided yet between 3:55 and 3:73, either way they only have one speedo gear (23 tooth I believe) for either gear combo so the speedo will never be 100% accurate again.

That's not totally true, you cannot correct for anything lower than 3.55 with the 8 tooth drive, but you can change the drive teeth so you can correct for 3.73s, 4.10s, etc.

The day has come, my wheels arrived and I put them on right away. Maybe this weekend if I have time I'll put the Eibach's in, the car just sits way too high
