Default Tire fitment chart

Can someone point me to a fitment chart that shows wheel and tire combos that will fit a stock height Z. I would like to put the same size tire front and back on a 02 . I have searched this forum with several key phrases and no luck yet.

You can't put the SAME size tire on the front and rear of these cars.
The rear tire diameter MUST be larger than the front by at least 0.5".
You will confuse the car's Active Handling, and Traction control if you were to put on the same size tire on the front and rear.

I have a guide to properly sizing your tires on my web site.

Hope this helps !

I've checked Toque's numbers, they are in line with what should be implemented for sizes. For tires I don't have any information on my site, however you can check it out if you are interested to verify what I run in regards to the tune on the motor.
