Default time for some new rubber

Hello again everyone

its that special time again, TIRE BUYING!

i was hoping to get your thoughts on what you think of going 225 up front and then 255 in the rear (04 all stock)? bumping up the stock width by 10 both in the front and the rear. i do a little autox making the bigger tire better for grip and the price difference is like 25$ for a set of 4 so money isn't really a problem, any reason why i shouldn't get the bigger tires? i know that putting 225 in the front will bring them out of manufacture specs but its not like thats going to cause the car to blow up right?

thanks for the input!

I've got the same sizes on my S and they Are great. as long as you keep the factory offset you should have zero issues.
