Thanks for the input, I also am skeptical about the 245/45-17 on front. I was planning on 235/45-17's until I found some people with the 245's and 5" b.s. I looked at some tires today in the 245's and 235's, namely Potenza's 970 AS and Michelin Pilots. The 245's look pretty wide off of the car. I have 225/70R14 on it now and I have about a 3-4" gap between the fender lip and top of tire. The diameter of the tire is 26.4", so if I go to the 235's, I may go with a 50 series. I am going to cut the coils in front to get the stance I want before I order new springs. I am thinking the Hotchkis 3" drop.
