I'm lowered on Megan Racing coil overs. If i run 245/30 up front, there would be too much overall diameter difference. im sure thats not good for AWD...

thanks!!

What's everyone's thoughts on used tires? And aren't 285/25/20's are just a little too skinny? anyone here run these tires? any problems?

IIRC the center number is just a % of the width of the tire.

Do you think heating it up and bending it would solve the issue? Or trimming it?

I was gonna take it to this shop that said they can drill a hole further away from the edge of the bumper and fender and bolt it up from there. that will allow them to trim or remove the existing tab to make more clearance..

Looking very good! I love the CV1's against the pearl white, and lowered just the right amount, very classy look!

The tire specs Diego mentioned should keep you within the right wheel diameter!

thanks!!! they do look awesome... i think once i vinyl my roof black, the black/machined combo on the wheels, would look good with the black roof...

i went on one of those tire size calculator and theres a difference of .18" in overall diameter. between 245/30 and 285/25.... if i went with 235/30 and 285/25, theres only a .06" difference in overall diameter. wouldnt that be better?
