no spacers, no rolling. Im lowered on stance GR+pro coilovers. Dan recommended a 245 for a 9" rim. 255 could of fit fine, but not really needed since 245 star specs really run like 255's. These will be used for autox and dd.

Understandable...according to this tire calculator...

If you went with a 265/40/17 that would be the exact same size as stock...check it out...

I went from 245 star specs on MR BBS wheels to 255 star specs on my rota DPT's and the difference was unbelievable. I love how with the 255's I feel like once I begin to go into a turn , I get pulled in. Try out 255's next time. Everyone told me that I wouldnt be sorry and they were right.
