i'm ordering this week!

on the rear, will i be okay with 255's or should i definitely get 245's? advantages/disadvantages of either (stretching vs not stretchin)
i'm on stock suspension now, but within a month or two I'll be getting either modified V2's, TCKR, or the Cross coilovers. (still haven't decided yet)

will i need to roll the fenders either way??

what about the front? 225 vs 235.

Advantages and disadvantages of the 245/255 is pretty simple. 245 is absolutely fine on the car, but most guys want to run at least 255 because the larger tire looks better on the car. But the thing is with the 255 is that it can cause rubbing issues.

In terms of stretching the tire, the only disadvantage would be the lack of curbing protection, that's it.

Fender rolling will more than likely be required if you're going to lower the car, but all set ups are different, I've seen lowered 1 series on 255 in the back with no rubbing issues, it just depends on the set up.
