Alright, so I picked up the wheels a couple of weeks ago! I just got them back from the wheel shop (polished, zero curbs now
)
My question this time is regarding tires. The came w/225-40-18's (f) and 265-35-18's (r) . I'm lowered on Tanabe's-which drop the car almost 2". I want to fill up the gap in the rear and in the fronts. I've been contemplating getting 245/40/18's in the front, however w/my agressive offset I'm not sure It'll work. Would I be better off going to 235/40/18 or something else?
Let's leave that alone for a bit....Onto the rears, would 275 be ok?
Any brand recommendations are greatly appreciated as well. I have search, but there is not too many people w/1GS that are running a 9" up front w/21 offset.
Thanks in advance! ANY HELP APPRECIATED
Here's what the front looks like. I know the picture is crappy but it's all I have here at work.

By the way it looks I think both 235 and 245 will fit, but 235 will be a safer bet if you are not going to make any modifications to the front fenders. The rears would be fine with either a 265 or 275.
