Theres a guy selling some GOODYEAR F1 GS-D3 225/50/16 on ebay for $145 with 2 days left and 90% tread. Think ill snap these up and see if I can get the rears widened and get some better rubber for the rear and put the goodyears on the front..

It shouldn't matter that its 225 width or does that have something to do with the OD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will be on the back so I'm not too concerned about it being a bit lower, its more I don't want the front lower due to the phoon bar getting raped...Im gonna get the rear rims widened to 8", so 245 should be sweet...
