Front 245 45 17 on 17x8 rims with a 4 inch back space.
rear 285 40 18 on 18x10 rims with a 5.5 back space.

Rear of car I lowered 2" with 8" bolts and narrowed the spring by 3" I also had to
remove the rear sway bar. I also relocated the parking brake bracket from the side
of the control arm to the top. The fit on the rear is pretty tight, I have experienced
some slight rubbing on the frame at the front of the tire above where the trailing
arms bolt to the frame, when running the car hard through some twist and turns,
but very slight though, just enough to rub off the paint on the frame.

Front of car was already lowered when I got it but I think its been lowered 2".

Hope this helps,
Riggs

Thanks. I wasn't the first; a couple of guys have shots with their cars parked at different angles that look great. I need to go there on a Sunday, before the restaurant opens, and take a few shots with a better camera.
