The fronts are 225/45 stock they are 40 but i couldnt find any cheap ones so i cheaped out and bought 2 used 225/45 for $100 lol. They do rub alittle if i have a real sharp turn but for the price i couldnt say no lol. Once i get new rims and tires i will go with shorter tires. The backs are stock 255's....
