Todd seems to have little things to help open the wallet. Last August I went in to discuss the Addco rear sway bar...not long after I was calling him back about some LSportline Model 4 1-piece wheels. The tires I originally wanted have been on national backorder so I chose some BFG TA KDW-2 summer tires. The day after gobble day Todd installed them and here is how it looks. Excuse the lack of center caps, they will be on tomorrow.

Here it is:

Thanks guys

With the slightly reduced tire diameter, I do have a bit more fender well gap. The Mrs. had commented that she thinks the Teins would be a good idea. We'll see...

Retro- yup, 18's.

Here's a shot of the 245/40-18 rubber. I knew what the tread looked like having seen it online but seeing the real tire...

My friend has those on his VW Jetta VR6, they are pretty awesome+made on the same line as the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S.
