I need to know - same size tire all around?

[djyelloboy]

Would it be wise to get the same size tires for the front and back so you can rotate them when needed?

if u trying to save money go ahead. IMHO it looks stupid. ive gotten so used to the rake look i believe it takes away from the Marauder essence if it doesnt sit ass higher. but do what makes u happy, its your car homie

Yes with one concern if you have traction control you will need to turn it off everytime you start the car, your tires will last longer if you can rotate them. I personally like the staggered tire look.

yea i like the look to!!! my unlce had told me to get tire to match the front because i need some new rear tires but im not

Do you have traction control on your car?

If yes, then you can run all 4 same size, but you'll have to turn off the T/C whenever you drive the car or it will think the car is spinning and kick in. Also, you're limited as to what size you can run in the front due to clearance issues, 245/55/18 or another configuration that's not much larger than 26.68" in diameter.

FWIW, if you're running OEM BFGs and trying to extend the tire life, this will help some, but you'll still end up wearing out the centers. IMO, better off going to an aftermarket tire on the rear that will wear better than the crappy BFGs.
