yeah they should... i know that everyone says to go with the same width front and rear for traction, but ive seen a couple guys with AWD's and they put a staggered set up on theirs and it works just fine with no problems.

i would try to get the same overall tire diameter front and rear cuz if either front or rear is rotating faster...the ecu might get all confused lol

Very cool... !!

You have the same tire size as me..

I'm running the Yokohama Advan Sport..
The PS2's seem to "look" thicker when you do a visual comparison between the two different tire brands..

My side walls look thinner per se.

Thanks

Thanks for your response! What is the max width I can go with. Some say 8" max, but the S5:F's are 8.5"
