I got a good deal on a set of nitto nt05 in 245 & 275 but next set will be Toyo proxy 888. I would also like to try a set of high yokahamas. Rims are designed to take a 235 to 255 on the front and a 265-295 in the rear without fender mods. Secret custom offsets from strasse... I wanted a super light set up that I had a real large selection of highend performance tires.

Everyday... I want a set of coils but I don't want to deal with tire ware issues and my nitrous box is mounted with a custom bracket on the top of my strut tower so that would have to change too. It's a big pain for me plus I won't put coils on without corner balancing so it's an expensive mission for me
