well if hes running a 255 in the front i think you will be fine with a 245 in the front.
i went to like 3-5 places yesterday to shop for tires everyone told me like 800-1200 for tires in the sizes i want.
And then i call a guy i use to buy used tires from and i just asked him prices for 285/30/20 and a 275/30/20!! man he told me 160 for the 285 and 150 for the 275!! I even work with a guy whose a wholesaler who sales tires. this guy gets tires for a good price like falkens, nitto etc etc and he told me he paid 100 for one of his and that was a 245/35/20!! And then he told me tires sellers mark up those tires like 200%. I mean call me cheap i dont give a crap but im trying to do my hw to get the best price out there.
anyways im going to have to wait till monday to order them. i am gona either from the guy i work with or the guy i use to buy used tires from!!!

ive had 285/30/20's on the last few sets of wheels ive had on my 98 GS and they fit fine with nothing more then an extremely slight roll. id do 295/25's if the tires werent so damn expensive

The part of tire pricing I find ridiculous is that I paid about $250 a piece for 285/30/20 Falken 452's but the 245/35/20 fronts were only $125 a piece. I don't see how it could cost them twice as much to make a 285/30.

geezz
what ever happened to asking for some help. even the shop had trouble torquing the lugs down. so i took the wheels off the car for now. I either got to get bigger lugs or got to see if the tapper inside the holes need to be redone. That is what the shop told me the problem was..the tapperanyways here are some pix of the car day after i got her back from the shop! it rubed so im just gona raise it up a big!
