Dennis, are the 255's on the 7.5" or 9" Volks?
I've got a front set of Volks w/shaved 235 RAs on 'em if anyone wants to buy 'em.

255/40-17s 17x9 +63mm offsets in front. Just a rear Volk CE28 mounted on front.

just one thing to keep in mind. ce28 with 17x9+ 63mm offset in front, if you decide to get BBK later down the line, it will not clear. That's why i went with 17x9 +54mm ce28
I'm running a Small Brake Kit (SBK)! The Wilwoods are smaller and lighter than the stock calipers. No clearance issues whatsoever. Krazik is right about brake performance. When I switched to the Wilwoods there was no noticable difference in stopping distances and no increased resistance to heat soak. However, the Wilwoods are 30lbs lighter than stock, brake pads for the Dynalite caliper are less expensive (and there's more pad choices available) PLUS pad swaps take seconds once the wheels are off.

I''m actually going with the 235 F/275 R setup. I'll see how it is compared to the 235/275 but hopefully it should quell the understeer.
I'm going with the 235 F / 255 R.

BBKs are a waste of $ on the s2k.

I am going to drain your brake fluid next time and see if you notice
