New Tire/spacer set-up - second opinion needed...
 
I'm so confused, I'm planning on upgrading my tires to a bigger size but not sure if they will fit the stock sport rims, don't know what size spacers to get, and I'm getting the eibach springs so I don't know if everything will fit right. Front: BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDW Rear: BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDW 2 If anyone can help me on my upgrade path, I'd really appreciate it.

First of all. Those tires are super loud. 20mm spacers will fit on a lowered car in the rear. Would probably stay w/15's up front just to be sure. You never mentioned the tire size in your question though. Why are you changing tires?

I want more grip, I was in an accident recently so I'm upgrading my whole suspension for a better piece of mind. Can you suggest another tire, I thought the tire looked pretty good plus I got a F.I. Exhaust coming so I don't think the noise would be that bad. Front tire 255/40/19, Rear tire 295/35/19

I think the tires on your car are very good. Just by going wider you will improve grip. The spacers will improve stability a little also. I would go w/15s all the way around w/that set up. I was looking at tires for my 06 350, and thought the michelins wore longer and had the same grip as the bridgestones. They are very expensive though. I'm not a tire expert by any means. The BF's are a good tire too, just very loud. There has been a discussion about tires on other threads. You may want to check it out.

I guess some guys like hankook ventis v12's. They are pretty cheap too.

That's the second time I've heard that the BF goodridge tires are loud, how loud do they get? The price would be about $600 for the rear & $200 for the front.

You said you were getting an exhaust? Then you are right. You probably won't notice the noise.

NewYorkJon34 11-17-2009 03:58 PM

Ya the fast intentions exhaust, I think I have an idea on what I'm going to do: eibach springs, h&r 15mm spacers front & rear, BF-Goodridge 255/40/19 up front & 295/35/19 for the rear.

Sounds juicy. I am saving for an exhaust also. I want the FI but am afraid my driveway is too steep. That exhaust is sweet.

I second the ventus 12's or something nicer...

^Ventus 12's?
