A real quicky

Well, after 2 1/2 yrs and 32k miles my BFG stockers are shot. I've been reading and researching literally all day and I think I have a plan. I want to run it by the community first as I can't seem to find a solid answer searching.

I'm planning on getting Nitto 420's as I've read good comments about them and I want a uniform appearance. I understand they have more sidewall flex than the BFG's but I don't drive my car all that hard and I could use the better ride quality of a softer sidewall.

I was planning on running 255/50/18 on the front and 255/55/18 on the rear. I have a 300B. Will this set up cause problems with the ABS or the traction control? Will 255's on the front rub at full lock?

There needs to be a 3% difference in circumference between the front & rear tires for the traction control not to complain.

32K on stock BFG's :eek: Wow lucky you. We're lucky to get about 20K out of a set.

Yeah, I guess it's obvious I don't do a lot of burnouts.:alone:

So nobody knows if they'll rub huh?

Another question I thought of I'll add. I've never changed the tire size with a tuner before. If I change the tire size in the my xcal3 that will erase any problems with speedo or TC correct?

So I ordered tires from discounttiredirect.com yesterday in between customers at work. Apparently I missed the part on the order screen to opt out of secondary offers. In the last 24hrs I've received 4 emails and a dozen phone calls from various online "universities." It's frustrating as hell. I guess the moral of the story is make to pay attention!
