Same issue. Whine at ~76mph on up until ~82 then it goes away. It's annoying but I guess we just have to deal with it

225/45 and call it a day. Literally everyone makes a tire in that size so your options are plentiful.

I prefer the look and the feel of the 17s. The 18s I had were just a bit too big and bulky. 133759

Imo, all concave will look way better. I don't think you would necessarily need coils to fit a 9.5 up front, depending on offset and camber. As far as running staggered tire sizes, I don't think it...

I had this same dilemma. I had 18x9.5's with 235s and hated the feel and how dull it made the car. I now have 17x9's with a 225 which is better, but I still miss the stock tires, they were too much...

You could always throw some more camber at it. I'd be curious if you went ahead and lowered it to where you want, if the added camber in the rear would make them fit with the tires you have now....

I would go with 235/40. It will give you more clearance at that height. I ran that exact same setup on coils: 124793

They'll probably say that the weather stripping will mess up the film so they left a large gap to ensure it won't rub off. It's not ideal but I would bet that's the story they'll go with

Yeah brand new. They are cheap firestones which I think might have an impact but it's almost undriveable on the highway.

Well didn't exactly blow. I felt it start pulling funny, then the tire pressure light came on and I pulled over. Wasn't violent at all. That's why I rule out the alignment

It's definitely do-able, how low you want to go will determine how well they fit though.

I had the exact same setup on BC's with 235/40s. They fit fine. Slight rubbing at full lock but I'm pretty low. The 235s worked well, although I was always a little weary about pushing them too hard....
