No worries man, but the FD comes stock with 245's on an 8 inch wide front rim I believe, 255's on an 8.5 one wouldn't be a problem.

Hmm, I thought it was 245 on all 4's. 225's are skinny as hell. My bad!!! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

but whats his ride height? you can get 285's in the front if you raise the car like 2-3" but if its at stock height it almost rubs everywhere
