I live in southern California and the roads are really good, but yea the sexiness of the car is worth it for a lil uncomfortable ride. How is it on highways and freeways?

Im going to trade in my 30 series in front, for a 35 series. Im 20x9.5" in front and stretched on 235/30 with lil comfort at all. Im going to run 245/35 so I can raise her up a bit in front as well when coils are installed. My rears are 20x10.5" and running 275/30 and are good to go

Popular sizes are 245/45/20 front and 275/30/20 rear.. but then again, it depends on the offset of the wheels.

^245/35.... typo.

it's more like tire sizes have to do with ride comfort. But again, it's not going to be a HUGE difference. Stiffer side wall does make a difference, but in your case, it really wouldn't matter.

Just go for it.
