235 40 and 255 40 rear. 35 series would look too small for 18s on a GS. Don't run 35 series unless its like 275 or wider

use this tire size calculator. plug in your stock size to compare to some of your desired sizes. You can see how off you are.

Not much of a staggered setup but it can work.

Yea it's on coilovers. It used to be slammed but since I've been driving it everyday, it's sitting at about one finder gap. Which is low enough for me.
