I ruined a set of 245's last year. The inside sidewalls were cut deep enough to cause slow leaks in both fronts.

I was running Hoosiers at the time. This may be an isolated incident, so it may work for you.

I have KWV3s and run 245/45/16 on AP1 rear wheels @ all 4 corners with no fitment problems whatsoever I was planning on doing the same with 255/40/17 on AP2 rear wheels this season. I don't anticipate any issues, but...

I was either thinking of 245 all around, or I got a set of rear NSX wheels and im gona run 265/45/16s on those in the back

I run in A-stock, so I was running the JDM wheels with stock springs & spring perches.

Whiteline front bar...no adjustment but the price was right I like the 245 all around setup so far, but I haven't been on the track with it yet...only local club autocross. Hope to change that this March.

I have shock compression dialed up fairly stiff in the front (1/4 turn open vs. 1 turn open in the rear). This seems to be working for me at the moment. The biggest hassle actually was getting the wheel centers milled out to fit the fronts.
