Good point, but my tires on the stock 16's are low, and I dont wanna buy another set of tires for the 16's when all i need are some 275/35/18's for the te's.

Someone said throw on some spacers, I was under the impression I was pretty much at the max offset to tuck when lowere given the width of the rims. The tires will be 245/40/18 and 275/35/18 fk452's.

you can rock lower offsets and still have some width under there. the 2GS can fit some pretty low offset wheels
im running 19x9 and 19x9.5 +20 all around. there is still room for more spacers
but then again, im not running wide tires like u want to run
oh and i had a 240 too. i ran 17x9 +15 all around too

yea man I had these volks on my s13 and with that I used +20 spacers on the rear and +5 on the front for +25 front on 235/40/18 and 20mm over fenders and with the rear being +15 I had to use 245/40/18 stretched with a rolled fender.

Now that I have bigger wheel wells I want the right size tire rather then a stretched tire.

Yeah man I almost did post a loud wind noise thread, but that is because my body molding on the passenger side that goes from the windshield over the roof down the rear glass is loose on the windshield area. So I ordered a new molding retainer.

Thanks guys, love bing here.
