Upgrading to 245/40's on stockers is the best thing you can do.

You may also want to think about getting coilover's now. They will give your 8 a much more aggressive look. It did for me

I would have also waited at least another month before mounting these wheels, unless you got a winter beater.

Looks great!!!

Quick question about your intake. My car came with a K&N intake as well. Do you get that damn interior buzzing when you really get on the throttle above about 6000rpm?? I'm ready to get rid of it because of that but have been lazy.

I used to get that sound resonating into the cabin. However it went away when I cleaned up in the engine bay. (Removal of stock intake pan, battery relocation, etc.)
