Hey guys I have a 2004 v and I'm looking at lowering the car with h&r springs and getting new tires so I'm wanting to know what sizes are my best options.
The sizes I'm looking at getting are
275 40 18 rear 245 45 18 front
275 35 18 rear 245 40 18 front
245 40 18 front and rear
Or just the stock size

Thank you,
Evan

I had the stock size and thought the sidewall looked too fat. So I dropped it down a profile and run 245/40 18 front and 275/35 18 rear. I have no issues at all.

I've got the Eibach springs.

I have to say that I honestly don't think I have ever seen a 20 series tire.... I mean up close....I have seem some on "DONK" rides that didn't even look like that they could hold air.

I would have to agree with this! The lower side walls look perfect with the Eibach springs.
