Ok, so i had 275's in the rear, but when i had them replaced, they put 245's. I'm freaking out. Lol. Do these look too small?

Yes they do look too small, looks like **** with 18's n 245's and like you had asked you probably will have a loss in traction.

If I were you Id bitch at my dad about spending that much on my car with out asking me first. Do it in a way thats not rude or gonna hurt his feelings then sell those and get some 315's.

Who picked the sizes/put them on? They should know they are 275's, its a WS6 and it says in the door. I can understand if it was a base model and you upgraded wheels but they didn't pay attention.

What mods do you have for your HP? I had 441RWHP on my other car and I didnt have a prayer hooking on a 315.

Sounds like a nice setup! That torque has to be fun!

Wow those look tiny. I have 245's but I have 8.5 inch wheels, they don't look that small on my car. Odd

285's will work, but don't go any wider on the stock wheels.
