The tires I used are 225 40 18 in the front which are stock and 265 40 18 in the rear which is about the same in diameter to stock but 10mm wider than stock. the other real benefit is I now no longer have to think about $1,000 set of tires. The price range for 18's is much much better. I still have the raked look because of the larger tire I am running in the rear.
