Front:
225/45-16
Rear:
245/40-17


If you're looking for the best cheaper street tire the Falken Azenis RT-615 is a great tire. If you don't mind spending the extra cash, the Toyo R888 is a superior tire but with a higher price tag. If you're looking for slicks you can't beat the Hoosier A6
Hope this helps

Thank you Anonymous! The reason I was asking about the AD07 is because mine only <3000 miles on them and I was just thinking about switching them over but I guess that idea will not work.

Thank again

I gotcha, In the end, If you went with the Falkens, it would probably run you about $350 for the set which isn't too bad for some new tires. But I do understand your predicament.

I'm looking at the Falken Azenis and they don't have the exact tire sizes you list but some are quite close but I'm not very knowledgeable on tire sizes and clearance. What sizes of the Falken Azenis do you recommend for this rim?

In the azenis RT-615 they have 235/40-17 would be good for the rear and the
215/45R16 which would be good for the front. the size difference that you see will be a little smaller than the sizes I posted but not by too much and they would work great

Hi Everyone - just a quick note:

When paying by paypal the vendor can only ship to the address that is associated with your paypal account. If you need them to ship to a different address please let me know and I will tell you how to proceed.

Thanks!

Thanks jeavis and everyone else. We sure are meeting our quota quick. We were afraid to initiate this group buy for fear that we couldn't sell enough, but it turns out we had nothing to worry about. If you guys have any questions, just ask us and we'd be happy to help.

Spoke to the vendor last night. The last day to place an order to get in on this group buy will be this Monday June 30th.

Please don't wait - once the order closes I won't be able to do anything to help you.

Also, when you PM me please include your real name so I can match the paypal name up with your LT name. I will post a list of LT members who have paid and are confirmed later today.

The first post has been updated and shows the names of everyone that the vendor said has sent in their deposit.

I know there are at least 6 additional people that I have sent the paypal information out to. If you have not made your payment please do so by Monday. Thanks!

Let me know what center cap size you get for them when you get the wheels in. I have domed black and aluminum logos in 1.5" and 2" sizes. If you need me to work out a group buy price on the centers let me know.
