tires.. hmm i just bought a set of four tires for around 270 shipped to my door. I got some Diamondback TR968 that im sure no one used before but the specs looked good. LEAVE the Flamming behind.

I had Teins s-tech and they were really good dailys. Im gonna have B+G springs on within a month, so i'll tell ya's how they are.

I would stick with the same width tire you have for those wheels, although you might want to consider 45 series instead of 40, up to you. With that offset you don't need to run spacers, but if you wanted to and you're going to lower it you will need to roll the rear fenders. That being said I have a new set of H&R 10mm spacers if you would like them.

i would suggest sticking with the 225 width and go with a 45 series tire it would give it a more aggressive look, for tires im rocking goodyear eagle gtII 225 50 17, they run about 140 a piece, but i work at a tire shop so i get them for 85 bucks a piece. Still a little pricey but the tires are nice.

i drive abt 120 miles everyday so really cant afford expensive tires, i was lookin at the 45 series but then if i lower it and add 20 mm spacer rear and 10 mm front i would then have to roll my fender for sure am i correct?
