offsets?

but more than likely you'll run 225/40 up front and 255/35 in the back

Nice bro, I got a set of re's in bronze. (17")

will make for a nice shoot come spring, summer!

You can eaisly run a 215 front if your gonna be dumped and a 245 in the rear if your gonna be dumped.

Your offsets will play a key factor here and ofcourase how low you are.

40/18 front
35/18 rear

anything above 50mm is still pretty big.


See you come spring, imo, 225 front and 245 rears, still the 215 front if your gonna be real low.

The offset is going to be critical. Too low of an offset and you need to run 215/40R18 and 245/35R18 rear.
If I can help let me know.

Its gfonna be tight in the rear imo, again, depending on how low you are and how stiff your set up is.

Id run a 245/35/18 rear and either 225 or 215/40/18 front

Im in Kanata

mine are 50 front and rears are 63

with only 1" drop you can easily still do a 255 rear, if anything you may be like me and have to move your rear tab and do some trimming, nothign hard that cant be done in my laneway in 30 mins. Its easy enough to giver a fender a slight roll witgh a bat as ive done it many time.
