Hey Mike813, I try to avoid that part of Atlantic Ave at all cost. I use Jamaica Ave or the Interboro. I went with the 45 series tire..

Not a problem! I have some DF210 Tanabe springs & KYB Struts. The ride is very nice I believe that the tires r 245/40/18 Yokahamas. There's about a 2-figure gap in the back and a 2 1/2 figure gap in the front. I don't have any spacers. The back has a small camber issue that has not shown any wear on the tires. I'm pretty much guessing on the tire fender gaps. I'll show u before and after springs & struts pics. GL

hmm that sits alot higher in the front than mine and I have the same setup as you...... heres a bad picture but you get the idea. I doubt I can put 1 finger between fender and top of tire when its pointed straight.

JR just go to the dealer and ask for pulloffs, thats what I did and I paid $100 per wheel in mint condition ( 100 miles on the set).
If you get in good with the parts guy ask him to hold the next set.....
