This is what I have been told

as for how wide of tires, ur gonna wanna stick with a 235/35 in the front, a 245 is going to rub if your going to lower the car. As for the rear you can go up to 275/30 w/o any fender modding but if you feel like shaving or rolling you can prolly get a 285/30 on (but i dont see why you'd want to).

I suggest a 235/35 front and a 265/30 rear. Its the most commonly used tire setup. Some people use a 275/30 in the rear, it normally comes down to the offset to determine the rear tire size.

Hope this helps
