    Seems like with the dd people run anywhere from 285 up to 315's. These seem the most common that will fit with no problems. Some go up to 335's but i'm not sure if they've to modify anything to make them fit. Hope this helps.:D Only downfall with 315's etc you can really only get drag radials(unless u want some really expensive pirellies or michelins if your doing 18's) and it can get pricey. My wheels are a 22 offset in the front and i beleive a 24 in the back and theres no rubbing at all.(with the eibach prokit as well)

    Edit: Are you doing 17's or 18's??

    You can get 315 sumitomos for about 98 bux and piece in 17s, but i just went with nittos in the back of mine which i got for an awesome deal.

    I'm not sure on the size. I'd kinda like to go with 18's but like to keep the 17's to make it simple.
