245/40 and 285/35
255/35 and 305/30
Any suggestions?

you have FI Exhaust right? keep in mind you'll probably only be able to lower 1 inch at max without having issues. i'm lowered 1" up front and .75" in the back with hankook v12's
i have thicker tires and even though i'm not lowered that much, the thicker tire eats up the wheel gap.
i have 255/40/19 and 285/35/19. However, if i were you i'd say go with the 245/40/19 and the 285/35/19, since some people think the 255/40 i went with is actually a bit too thick, but i can live with it.
here is what it looks like with the drop and those tires.
if you go with the 255/35 and the 305/30, you're gonna have more wheel gap and gonna have to drop to the point that you'll scrape your FI cans all the time in order to get rid of the gap.
245/40 and 285/35 is going to be slightly higher profile tire than
255/35 and 305/30 and will therefore eat up more wheel gap with the modest drop (at most) that you'd be able to do with the FI exhaust.... or you could do my exact set up with tires and it'll look like that
some FI guys maybe should chime in about how a 305 is compared to a 285 in terms of power delivery/traction
