rears are pirelli tires and fronts are bridgestone bought them used at a set of 4 for 275 mounting and balancing included. 80% tread. yea it is quite a stretch place i bought it from had a hard time airing the tire up getting it stretched on the bead of rim.

I adjusted my stance coilovers while they are on the car. its quite simple, takes some elbow grease!
I wish i saw this thread earlier, would have shot some video how to's.
i'll try to explain...and this is for people who already have coilovers installed and pre-load has already been set Off the car at one point.
there are two perches (aluminum rings with notches) below the spring. Put 1 spanner wrench on the top one and another spanner wrench on the bottom one. Turn the top one to the left and the bottom one to the right. what you are doing is tightening the perches together.
now, loosen the very bottom alum ring, this will allow the whole body of the coilover to rotate.
take the spanner wrench to the TOP perch. (the one the spring is sitting on.
to lower the threaded shaft, turn it CLOCKWISE. You will then see the whole shaft turning down into the bottom cup.
to raise the threaded shaft, turn it COUNTER-CLOCKWISE. You will then see the whole shaft turning up out of the bottom cup.
you can only do 1/4 turns at a time, keep doing it and you will get the hag of it.
***Make sure you measure the threads on BOTH sides so its even***
TIGHTEN the lower ring against the bottom cup.
This is how I do it, it works on pretty much all coil overs. Its a slow process but works effectively.
