if you have ABS i don't recommend running different tire diameters on different ends of the car.

and the rear will take some massaging to make a 255 fit. you'll HAVE to add camber shims. the rear has less clearance than the front (Russeltehpirate, chime in here please)

thanks for your help man

yeah..no abs..i have the base model
the camber shims issue is a good point..ill probably be ruining the suspension geometry in the long run..i notice running camber kits/shims is pretty common with the wide wheel slammed vw golf guys..but if the can do it why can"t we?

should i stick to my 205/40's for now?..those A032R's are so damn tempting..


btw those tires look awesome..do you have a side view of the car?..
