I can't help on the tires, but where are you guys getting these rims. I want some deep lips for my 98 SC, and these are the kind I amlooking for. I just don't know where to buy them

you need to get a wide low offset wheel. and that will push the spokes further inward to the car and the lip outward. get it? these rims are +4 fronts and -16 rears. but a stock body will not fit these.

so you want middle ground between mild and extreme?

I'd say,

10j - 245
11.5j - 275

that should be a nice stretch...dude are you going WIDEBODY!?!?!?

It would be the first time I've seen 235's on a 10" and 255's on a 11.5"

well i wanted something with a little bit more longevity, that setup would wear out pretty fast huh. but still a noticeable strech so you can see both lips of the rim from the back of the car.
but i dont want this


but something a tad more than this
