Super Sports if your going with a square setup. I would say in 225's or 235's

235/40 would be the size to get. Fits perfect, very very slight stretch if any.

a/s tire? Are you referring to an all season tire?

I agree. I barely paid anything for my 225/40's but they're too stretched for my drop. REGRET! ugh

I went through the first 35 pages and the last 5. Got some good ideas. Still have a few questions.

1. Would 18x8.75 +35 527's with 245/35 look ridiculous and poke a ton at stock height?

2. Does anyone have pictures at stock height with this setup? From all the pics ive seen it looks like everyone is lowered with those.

3. Does anyone have anything against running that setup?

I really suggest you lower the car, it looks very offroadish on stock. See my journal (Link in Signature) if you want more pictures, also with 1" Lowered (Posts #100+)
