Remember, Google is your friend. IMHO, I feel that instead of mods, your money would be better spent on an English tutor to assist you with grammar and punctuation.

That's a rather response - and people wonder why some new members get discouraged and quickly form a negative opinion about this forum.

OP - as far as the 305 tire goes, that should be fine as long as you have rear wheels that will support that width tire. Check with the Tire Rack's web site - pick a tire and then check the specs they list - it will have the recommended wheel width for each size tire.

TireRack is very useful!

but as long as he has 18x10.5 rears or larger rims he should be fine I believe...stock coupe rears were 18x9.5 if im not mistaken
