Guess those tires really were at the end of their life.
So, I decided to move down from 19's to 18's. Just don't feel like paying for the cost of 19" tires and the roads around here are so bad there is no way I can run on 20's. Back to 18's. Going to hard to take getting used too. I think lowering it further will make a difference and as luck would have it I have a set of Eibach Sportlines so a nice 1.6"/2" drop should look nice with this setup. The 18's and black sure give the car a different look.
Wheels/Tires:
Front - 18x8.5 with 245/45-18
Rear - 18x9.5 with 275/40-18
Part of me wonders about going down to a 40 profile up front. Maybe a 255/40-18. I'd like to do a 285/40-18 in back but with the offset I don't think I'll be able to squeeze the wheels into the wheel well properly if I lower it any further. It seems like the car needs a little 'rake' to it.
