and

nitto tires

245/35/20 all around...

looks good... rides good... does not rub at all.

Go with 20's youll like em.... if you liek 19's get em.. but i bet later on your gonna switch to 20's later on anyways.. why not just go straight to 20's....

OK, I'm sold...... I am going to shop around for 20's... Then I will need to drop it.. If I just go with H&R springs, will that do?? I have the SportDesign Shocks already....???....

H&R gives you a decent drop....

ltuned is good too but only gives you 1 inch drop....

Damn...the tinting job for you guys are hella hella cheap. I was offered $400 to get the mirror tint done here in Nor. Cali and that's a special of the regular price at $500. Does tinting price correlate with housing price out here or something?? I don't think so....

Okay..maybe I should really shop around...do any nor cal. guys here have any recommendation on a tinting shop here in the bay area? It would be great if you guys can tell me a place that would do the 25% mirror tint for around $150~$200.

Are you currently using the 20x8.5"+38 like Cameron? If so, it will not rub with 255mm tire.
Manaray uses a 20x9.5"+37 with a 275mm tire and huge Tein drop and has no rubbing at all....

Got that right.

Except one more thing... on the front... only use 245/35/20 ...... belive me you dont wanna go bigger in the front.. ove had way too much trouble when i had 255 in the front... (tire touching ball joint making grinding noises... rubbing.. etc.)


On the back... how ever i would recommend using 255.... i actully think its a better setup then 245... im gonna switch from 245 to 255 on the back my self very soon.
