I'm just going with the pro kit from eibach I've had it on a few of my Hondas and was impressed with the ride... With the 255/35 in the back is your tire stretched? I was thinkin more of a 275/35 in the rear

Yes that's mine. Thank you for he compliment. I used to have 275/30/19 on my 9.5" rear wheel. So the 275 is possible to run with rolled rear quarter panels.

Tires size are depend on the width and offset of the wheels, tell us what your specs so we can give you better idea if u just run on eibach springs, so you can go with fatter tires, I have20x9 +38 and 20x10.5 +45 and drop on F-sport springs and shocks and go with Hankook v12 245-30-20&285-30-20 with my rear fender rolled, no rub

How do you like the Hankooks. I have had Dunlop Direzza and Fusions Zri on my current wheels but I need some new tires for my new wheels and someone recommended them.

Ill have to check the offset on my wheels I bought them used....kid had no idea what he had... He had staggered wheels on an Altima... Looked retarded the back wheels stuck out so far the fender rubbed the edge of the tire... He said he bought them brand new for 700$ with tires that they were cheap knock offs.... Well they weren't they are tsw nagaros and I've yet to see a car in New Orleans with these wheels

I like them but I may not be the best guy to ask simcenive out 10K on my car in 3 years and I'm cambered pretty bad in the rear. They do have great reviews and perform just below Michelin PS2's on the Tire Rack website.

Sweet thanks for all the info guy... My boy has 285/30 in the rear on vossen 20x10.5 and he rubs even rolled the y I'm worried cuz I'm taking his springs... I think I'm gonna go 275/35 rear and I have 245/30 up front but the tires need to be replaced so I might stay with the same size... I'm gonna do some wheel fitting this weekend but it will just be tough to call without my springs on... Freshis250 your car has the perfect stance... That's what I want mine to sit like...

I'd say those tires are too wide up front if you ever want to be low. You'll rub like crazy.
