Thank you for the comments guys. I am currently waiting for the tires. Went with a 255/35 and a 285/30. Car is Lowered an inch 1/2. Next will be a TTE Lip, Roof Spoiler and Three peice spoiler. Will up date pictures with rims on the car.

What are the offsets of the rims? size-wise, the rear should be OK (pending offset numbers) but 255s in front has more potential for rubbing. Are you planning anything else (shaving, camber, ...) to fit the wheels or are you just bolting them on?

The front I have it at a 35+ and rear 43+ offset. If it comes down to rubbing problem, I would have to look into shaving and having it fit properly.
