MY03 tires were shot so i went ahead and got some 205/55/16-fronts and 245/45/16 for the rears on stock ap1's. after further researching after i bought them Jim from tire rack suggested 225(my mistake for not doing enough research, tried to call jim but they were already closed so i just pulled the trigger)

but since i already have the tires and mine are shot, what difference will i see as far as how this combo will drive? currently im on the stock bridgestones up front and kumo esta 225 rears(only reason i got the rears was because it was for a 100 bucks and it was the start of winter). i hated this combo because on the freeway i was always scared i would loose control cause i front/rear combo.

also i just purchased some Espelir ASD, how will the drop affect DD/spirited driving once the tires are broken in with the springs and a new alignment?(I plan to go with the UK spec)

If youre not pushing it you wont notice a difference.

I just got my espelier asd's put on a couple weeks ago. waited a week so they could settle, then got the uk spec alignment. car feels AWESOME! I have re01's on the car, and now that's getting warmer I've been tearing up the back roads. In my opinion the car rides better with the espilers.

I want to roll my fenders a bit though as I'm rubbing in the front on pitched/hard corners. you should be fine though with the ap1 wheels.

You will be fine with the tire set up. With certain tires the 205/55R16 in the front will actually handle more similar to the stock set up.
