IIRC, stock is 235/40, so 245 should be easy... I think I ran those in vredestein as well.

Coming from a drag racing back ground, I would normally keep the 235/40's for the street along with the 275/35's out back. But I may go 245's on the front to balance the handling. I'm going to run 8" rims front with 9.5" rear. I'll run Nitto 05's cause they really stick.
Any other ideas on the subject?

I think 245/275 will be the largest you could go stock without having to worry about rubbing under any conditions. Also, FYI, you can fit a nitto 555r drag radial on stock rims, but that really is the limit. I think if you google you'll find a few threads on it. Good luck!

I have been looking hard at the TSW Nurburging in gunmetal 18x8 & 18x9.5. TSW doesn't make a 8.5 in that wheel. I searched and did a lot of R&D on which rear tires to run. The Nitto 05's come in a Drag radial too but I only ran the 05's due to side wall flex.
