I left the front along, but I shaved the rear as much as I can.

Wheels are 20/9.5 35 and 20X 10.5 40 if I remember it right, since the original owner removed the stickers.

I really want to change the front tires now, 235/30/20 is just too scary to drive! I think if I go with 235/35/20 will do.

235/35/20 is pretty low as well. i'm running 245/35/20 which is still nice. Rides better too....

and w/ your car being lowered you really can't tell....

My rear is 245/35/20, so I can do the same to the front with my size and offset?
Please confirm, if I can do it, I will order my tires within couple days.

Thanks!

Just make sure it will actually fit inside your fenders.

I drove the car in the morning, all of a sudden it gets dark and was going to rain, so I rushed home and changed to my SC. just beat it! My poor SC is taking a shower now.


and thanks for the kind words everyone.

Looks like photoshoot is a must now!
