You'll be good with those. I have 245/40 fronts. Rear will look good with a drop.

I've been wondering the same thing...

That looks good! What size rubber you got on there? And what springs?

I just ordered a set of 255/35 and 285/30 on Toxic 20's.. I want to lower the car now, too.. Not a LOT, just a bit.. Like maybe 3/4" or so..

Thank you.
255/35's all the way around
Steeda Sport Springs (but if I had to do it again, I'd go Eibach Pro-Kit...the back is still alittle high for my liking)

You should be good I used the frpp lowering kit almost 2 inches in front with 245 40 x 19
and 295 35 x 19 on 9.5 wide rims and have no rubbing issues from my tires to body. I live in the country and I do have a issue with my cervinies exhaust dragging the high spots in the country roads.[&:] going to switch to steeda springs to raise drop from 2 inches to 1 inch.

you can see some before and after shots of lowering at www.cardomain.com search ybnormal-gt good luck to you and you should have no problems.
