Looking to pick up 245/45/17s for the OEM 17s sometime in the spring. Now has anyone ran this wheel/tire setup along with a 2" drop? Looking to add spacers in the rear. Would 25mm spacers rub?

I hate wheel spin. Would this help any? Im thinking of getting those nittos 315-35 17 drag radials. Would this be a cheaper alternative? I think i have 245's also

SaiyanGS3, Any chance you can update the photobucket pictures? I'd like to see them.

I've been running 245 45 17's on stock chrome 7 spokes and want to go with 275 40 17's in the rear. As for speedo being off, nope, stock tires are WORSE for speedo error, has been from day 1 140k miles ago. Every toyota/lexus I have had has had a 2-3 mph speedo error with stock size tires. I've heard it is intentional (makes mpg seem better, more miles on car than reality, less tickets....)

Anyone ever find out of 275 40 17's will fit on the front? That would be even better. I have snow tires for winter, so no issues there.

As I said before, the tires are wide and I actually like the set up for the time being. I think the photo are sized correctly. If not, oh well...I'm focused on football right now lol. On to the pics...
