Now I love the 255/35 & 305/30 combo myself, but yeah you'll want some higher offsets than +24 maybe if you're leaving it stock height. If not, a 245/40 & 295/35 is for someone very picky about stock diameter...they are just not as wide (could be heavier).

I have 255/40

& 305/30

right now. This is just the tires that the wheels came with, but I plan on changing the fronts when they are worn.

These are the exact wheel specs you mentioned with +24 all around, but with a Eibach Pro Kit -0.9"/-0.8" drop. Obviously if you raise the car up a little the wheels jump out easily toward the fenders.

I have -1.4 front / -1.6 rear camber in these pics and a full tank of gas.

Sorry, I totally misread your last post...You're talking DIAMETER and I was thinking WIDTH (...whatchu talking about, Willis...what's wrong with those widths)??? LOL. Though the difference from 26.6" to 26" is only a little more than 2% difference, and well within tolerance (2% change in speedometer). The more important thing is to have front and rear diameters match as closely as possible so that it doesn't screw up the ABS sensors. Having said that, a up to 0.6 to 0.7" difference front and back is also acceptable.

Back to the original statement, I agree with you that you agree with me about higher offset (more positive) is good for stock height and camber.
