Hey guys tried searching but need a direct answer quick.
I just bought my car yesterday and went to get it inspected, turns out I need new tires. Were is the best place to buy toyo r888's online? and what size do I need? I got the sport pack if that matters.
Thanks, I really appreciate it

Alright just found them on tireshoppe

Can someone just help me out with what sizes I need?
I tried to find it but got a bit confused.
Should I stick with the 195/50/16 225/45/17 setup or go for something different?

Bleu Omdurman · 11-29-2008, 08:40 AM

Stick with the stock sizes.

madden · 11-29-2008, 08:49 AM

awesome thanks guys! I was a little bummed that I have to swap out all the tires right away before I can get it to pass inspection, but its just an excuse to powder coat the rims while the wheels are off

That size will be good (stock sport pack)

If you are thinking of changing sizes you will want to think about it a bit and make some adjustments to your suspension set up.
