probably 285/40 in back and 255/45 up front. i was thinking of trying those BFGs g-force t/a kdws, but i heard they can be really noisy. if not those then i'll go back to nittos

IMO, the 285/40 is too short Casey4s has them on his car and even being lowered, he gets asked when he's going to lower it.

You definitely do not want to go with a smaller profile out back. I know a lot of people do it to keep as close to stock height as possible. But if you have a tuner, you can fix the ratio with that. Either way, you want to get the same profile out back as front. A lot of people don't notice it, but the second I see a picture, I can tell if they have a small profile out back. And it looks awful once you start noticing it.
