Default HELP! Possible tranny problem

Please Help...newbie here.

Just got the S2K a couple days ago, and I'm already having problems with it. After engaging in first gear, there is a very loud rocking sound (about 1-2 seconds) coming from below the firewall area, almost like it's coming from the tranny. Does anyone have similar problems? Every gear after that seems to run pretty smooth. I have 32k on it, is it time to replace the clutch?

Also, would it be terrible if I ran 215s (tires) all around? The tires are 215/40/18zr with a +45 offset.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

It would be bad to run 215's all around. It would make the rear end easier to break loose.

Got the problem evaluated by a friend and he mentioned it was a possible control arm problem. Maybe loose or something. Anyone have similar problems? Let me know.
