Suggestion : Tire setup
 
Which one you guys think is a better setup?

275/35 on rear and 255/40 for front?

or

275/35 on rear and 245/40 for front ?

assuming for 18's? all the sizes you listed are smaller then oem sizes. 275/40 and 255/45 are a perfect match for oem. i personally will be going 275/35 and 255/40 for a little bit more acceleration(less rotating mass). currently running 275/40 and 255/45.

OEM size is 225/50 and 245/45. I had base wheels too but anyways, a 275/35 made be too wide with not enough lip to compensate for a skinnier wheel. 275/40 and a 245/45 is what I would run on base wheels.

My bad. Had a typo on the measurement. The tire shop (Fletchers) I go to does not have 275/40. I went a head and get the 275/35, which is doesnt look that bad at all. Anyway, thanks for suggestion

as long as your fronts and rears diameters are close you shouldn't have any ABS problems. If they are too different then your ABS will go crazy.

Thanks for the heads up. Didn't aware that will affect the ABS. Appreciate it.
