great looking ride, maybe its me but my nitto 555 just look so much thicker than what u guys have on, hate that thick side wall look, got another question, would 8.5 front 9.5 rear work with the 245/40, its a 35 offset, & would that give me sort of the look i want.

this might give u an idea how "thick" my sidewall looks. personally i won't go with different widths, but each to their own, wheels'd give u 13mm difference from the different widths, same offset, it won't look "weird" for that sorta matter, but i'd vote 8.5 all around for 245/40, and if ur planning to get new rubbers anytime soon, go for 9.5 all around and wrap some 265 later, just my 0.02
