Well if you aren't tracking that's a different story.

I think they do that for people that plan on modding the car out of the gate... No sense in spending extra money on the car if you plan on upgrading the LSD brakes wheels etc right from the get go Even if it is not their intentions then it still serves that purpose

Here's a few pics of mine:

I'm running Michelin Pilot Super Sports 255/35/19 front, 305/30/19 rear, mounted on Avant Garde M310s.

No swifts, stock suspension. Absolutely love the Pilot SS tires! Grips sooo much better than before (stock Yokos).

Just a tip... Most guys are much less willing to help when you are lazy and don't search first... And on the oter hand much more willing to help out if you have done some research yourself and know what questions to ask without someone asking you for more details.. That being said, it depends on modifications, but stock height and no spacers, yes 255 and 305 will fit fine, however I suggest stepping the front up to 265 if you're running 305s in the rear
