First....we don't know what size rims you bought.....Staggered??? Widths????

Also mods are probably going to move this to the tire and wheel section. Just post up your wheel stats and we'll help you out

Typical sizes for this on the 2GS is 245/40 in front and 275/35 in the rear. The point of tire sizing is to try (as much as possible) the OEM tire diameter/circumference. More rubber means more comfort but more rubber than the above numbers would unnecessarily push you out of spec.
