Casey - what made you go w/ a 245/30 in the front wheels rather then 245/35? Just avoid rubbing?

This is very interesting, and if this is true, I'm going to call people out left and right that have this on their cars to see if they actually know the true meaning behind it...

245/30 looks perfect, going 35s yeah its probably the "more proper size" but looks too bulky!

Not sure if it would rub or not, but a little too bulky plus it will raise the front up. I like my front lower (raked) than the rear especially with the aero sides. I am planning to go lower this weekend. I really dont think this set up will work with out being able to tighting suspension(damping, sways). I know this isnt an aggresssive set up but tire and offset combo is to a certain point.

Exactly...this is the exact reason why I'm sticking with 30 offset in the front. I was close to ordering 10mm spacers to run +25 but w/ my 245/35, (+30) I just have to keep it here in MN. Thanks for all of your help w/ offsets...you and D have helped me quite a bit. sticking w/ +30f and +32r
