i'm interested in this set up too but the recommended tire is a 30 series. Not enough tire for me. I wonder can a 40 series be used instead? Will this interfere with any of the electronics?

24s will ride like crap and pop a tire on anything resembling a pothole. Something to consider before you spend the money.

coming from a 22" I would say that is going to be a bit over the top and crap for the ride.
22" I sometimes find uncomfortable over pothole roads in Hong Kong

the 24's with the tallest sidewall will be the

Proxes ST II
Rating: High Performance All-Season

Tire Size Fitment Price

295/30VR24 (295x787 mm) Rim Sizes 24x10 to 24x11.5 $389 Each


787mm is a good overall diameter that falls in the range of oem O.D.s

This will not mess up any electronics on the vehicle.

Do a search, I think someone on the board was selling soem 24's and had pics of them on the gl.

I was asking about 40 series tires because I already have a set. I'll check the overall height on them

I agree that the rotors do look small compared to the wheel.
