I have an offer to trade my 261's for this setup. I have 225/255's.

My question is how the car will drive with this setup? For the record, I have a 128 so I don't really need the width of the tires I have. Any feedback is appreciated.

What offset on the rims?

In general the car should be a bit more neutral given you have less grip in the rear. If the looks/offset don't bother you (the rears may appear very 'tucked in' depending on offset). Perhaps some improvement in rear suspension control since you are reducing some unsprung mass in the tire and the rim.

Any particular reason you're looking to trade though? do you not like how the car drives/handles now?

I decided to pass up the offer.

I do like the 261's sizing and looks, I just regret going with 225/255, they seem beefy and takes some of the looks away.

Yea I hear you, I also upsized to 225/255 as there is a lot more tire selection with those sizes...there is a bit more sidewall "pudge" factor added compared to the stock 215/245 but depends on the tire.
