Your stock tire size is around 27" in diameter.Try and keep your new tires the same overall diameter so you don't have to change your speedo calibration.Check B.F.Goodrich Tire Company website and they have tire specs and sizes for the rim width you want to run.Poco

I did visit the bfgoodrich site, but no much help, this is what appeared after choosing my vehicle:
"Your vehicle's original equipment tire size: document.write(bib_oesize); P235/55ZR17 98W We're sorry. There are no BFGoodrich® original equipment tire matches for your vehicle."
so i just want fattest tires i can fit with no problem at the rear, with the best fittment. Anyone?
like: 255/??/?? and 285/??/??

You should be able to lower the car up to 1.5 inches. I installed the FRPP springs & Swaybars. Lowered the GT that much. I have FRPP Black Bullets 18x8.5 Fr & Rr with no rubbing. Tires are Kumho 255/45/18 all around. I have heard/seen that the size you want in the rear should not present a problem.
One point to consider...when you lower the car you may have some clearance issues with the exhaust, especially when using an aftermarket one. I have the Borla Cat backs, and I ocassionally get a clank when I hit a really hard bump from the axel and exhaust hitting. I will take it back to my muffler shop to see if they can adjust it. I did the exhaust before I installed the suspension parts and had no issues before though.
The Tire Rack has the specs for most all the tires they sell...Rim diameters that will work, tire tread cross section, tire height (27" as stated above is the OEM height) - try to maintian this for filling the wheel wells up. Any smaller diameter, you will need a DSP or SCT II to adjust the speedo. The tuners allow the adjusting for new tire changes of revolutions in smaller or larger diameters.
