Default Tire choices....

Im looking to either run 215 / 245 or 215 / 255


What do you guys reccomend? I dont rub now, but thats just because ive got -3 camber in the rear. and im only running a 245 in the rear. If i get tires other than the RE050, ive been told that id prob want to run 215 / 255 to keep the same stagger, but ill prob start rubbing if i did that.

i love having a stiff sidewall on my tires, ride quality and noise doesnt matter (my exhaust is incredibly loud). What would you guys choose?? Im running SPT's now, but just for winter / rain... im now looking for a more sticky summer tire.

Id love to get the RS2's in 215 / 245, but the 245's are out of stock everywhere..

What do you guys think?

How about the Bridgestone RE-01R in 215/245?

The RS2's have soft sidewalls so you will lose turn in response.

Are you sure that a 255 won't fit in the rear?

Try the Falken Azenis RT-615, they are stiff in the sidewalls, very sticky and come in 215/45/17 and 255/40/17. I'm running them on my AP1 with a modified suspension (more AP2 like) and 17 in wheels (SSR). This tire setup provides superior performance to the original AP1 SO2 (even with the suspension mods. considered).
Added bonus: they're very reasonably priced.

^^^That is why I was asking him if he was sure that the 255's wouldn't fit on the rear.

If you're running the stock (offset) rear wheels, the 255 RT-615 should fit with no problem. Note: I'm only lowered about 1/2 inch, if you're really low, you may have some issues.
