FYI -
Here are a couple of web sites that are a lot of help when trying to determine the size tire and wheel offset to use.

That looks great Hans. I love the color. I'm putting 255x45x18 front on 8.5 inch AZA Z-1 wheels and 275x40x18 rear on 9.5 inch AZA Z-1 wheels. The package should be in by early Feb.

Hans, I like the wheels on your car. They really compliment the color of your car.

Thank you elfred, this color was not so popular but I love it with my shale interior.

Rick, thank you, I think with this big size tires it looks great but if you do this change why you didn`t choose 19`s?

Hans,
I was looking at 19's but, with the tire sizes I chose I would have to change the aspect ratio from a 55 to 45 up front and 55 to 40 in the rear in order to keep my rolling circumference close to correct. That could make for a stiffer ride (smaller sidewall) and the possibility of bending a rim on pot holes.

I sure will Hans. I also have a set of cross drilled / slotted rotors that are going on the car when I get the new wheels.
