I have this same set up S tech tien springs and stock struts and i use goodyear eagle 245/40/18. I did not buy the tires( it came as a combo) but if i had to do it over I would have gone for the 255 in goodyear or the 265/35/18 in yokohama s drives. The goodyears are too tall for a 40 and tend to rub on bumps and full lock turns

The G units are a +30 offset so I use a very slim spacer to clear the brembos by a hair in the fronts. no spacers needed in the rears. But if you are going with the 9.0 width I would definatly get the fronts rolled. The rear is your call. I'd post pics of my whip, but I don't want to jack this dudes thread. Unless its cool. Peace for now.

Seems to me like you shoulda reversed the order: fix the lame suspension, then go for wheels and tires.

Because the size of the rock matters. If it can get through the mesh, it probably won't do much damage. Take the mesh out and have a boulder flung at you that would've been normally stopped by the meshed and you probably won't be so lucky. I don't know if you've taken all the mesh out but if you have, then that's your radiator at risk too.

I dunno, it's your car, your call. Just doesn't make sense to remove something like that...

well if a boulder was flung at me, what makes you think the dinky mesh is going to do anything? its not my daily driver so im not too worried about it.. plus i dont tailgate

plus that would give me a reason to get a new radiator! but the IC would suck... silicone baby!
