With regards to the smaller sidewall, what dimension of tire (when looking to purchase) am i looking at to get a less meaty tire?





Yes thats exactly what i'm looking for!

I plan to purchase either H&R's or Swifts with the set of wheels, as well as rear camber arms.
Personally I don't feel there's anything wrong with replicas as long as your not tracking on them, but there are still vendors on here that sell rep's like varstoen on, but some people will debate the whole replica thing.

As far as the dimension depending on widths depends on how wide you can go. I just ordered my Works and my rears 19x11 , at first I was thinking about running 305/30/19 but now I'm thinking about running maybe a 295 or 285 to get that flatter look you speak of

I am going to get 20x11 in the rear for mine and I was going to do 285/30/20 seems to look like they will work fine. and 20x10 in the front with 255/35/20

I am just not sure what my offset should be to get it close to flush. what are you offsets on your rims

Im doing + 10 in the rear and +15 upfront. Im gonna run more camber than stock so hopefully it will sit pretty flush.
