Sorry, Ment 74mm!

Anyway. I like the look of 18's plus bigger tire. I just would perfer a 35 profile to a 30, BUT........

That had nothing to do with any of the questions.....so anyway. If someone could maybe shed some light on each of those questions that'd be great! Thanks

Looks good............I was running the MX before I bought the S0-3. I liked them.

The MX's look like they are norrower than the S0-2's that you had on before..........did you reduce the width from 275 to 265?

cc. Do you have any answers to my listed questions? I just am looking for some of those answers. I would run a 265, I just think S2k's with tons of rubber look bad a$$. And who knows......I might end up running a 265 so that I don't have to get custom off-sets, but don't know which way to go till I get some answeres to the above questions. Batman, maybe you could chim in on some of those too. It would really help.

Thanks guys.

Another question I have is, what's the widest rims possible for 16" and 17" Assuming people want to retain stock size or near it.

You can run a 16x8.5 or 9 with a 245/45/16 tire. I've tried finding a wider tire in 16" with no success...245 is the widest I can find. That maintains stock OD. There's some R compounds in 16" that are 265, but you won't be at stock OD anymore, and you'll only get 3k miles or less on the tires.

ok so if i were to get say 18x8's in the fornt and 18x9.5's in the back what would i have to run in the front and back(offset and tire wise)...i guess the fornt would be something like 225/35/18 but at what offset and the rear would be like 265-275/35/18...what offset would i have to run? and could i run a wider tire on a 9.5" rim?
