Bryan,

Welcome back. I say that because you used to be here all the time (generally with some post around "here is the dyno results of xyz mod I just did..."!) and it seemed like you disappeared for a while!

I have a tire size spread sheet, so I added your fronts and rears. Your fronts are 2.1" smaller than stock (slightly over 1" closer to the ground) and the rears are 1.3" smaller than stock (slightly over .75" closer to the ground). If you had went with 45 ratio front and 40 ratio back, that would have put you right at 0.1" smaller than stock (only 0.05" closer to the ground) all the way around.

Of course, this does NOT take into account availability of 255/45-18s or 285/40-18s either. This is the tire combo (on Smoothie IIs I might add) that I want to put under my car.

I think that I am just going to have to go with the KDW's over the NITTO's only because I want the 285/40/18.

Car looks great, I especially like the blacked out hood.
