Got the rims off of a member on here. And the tires were clearanced on tirerack. So if they sold out already then it would be removed.

But I bought Kumho SPT 235/40/18's. They were listed at 78 bux and dealer price was 69 on them.


btw the JBP cams in your future mods in your sig. Id probably just remove those. There hasnt been one good thing said about them.

Im planning on a front lip. Going wingless im not sure about. Ive thought about it.
As for the 235's I do love them. Definitely gave the car a much better look and feel.
We will find out tomorrow hopefully (weather pending) how much better the car does on the 235/40/18s over the stock 205/50/17s.

I stumbled across this thread and enjoyed it thoroughly! I don't see many 2.4s posted and I like seeing different examples. I'd like the lips too, but I'm feeling less like I HAVE to do it. That's a plus, since I'm lazy, have few tools, and live in an apt building with no driveway or garage.

On the downside, I now badly want TC wheels!

they made a massive difference! It feels like I swapped on stiffer springs and bigger sway bars! It actually feels like it can handle now. Definitely an awesome upgrade! Best mod to the car to date!

Got them from carquest and no sorry I dont. But you can just walk in and ask for SS/SC endlinks. 05-07 is what I asked for. I dont think the 08-10's are any different but just incase since the sway bar is different on those I specified the 05-07 range.

After the wreck





Getting towed. Managed to drive it back the 2 blocks or so back to the apartment luckily.


And now!
Excuse the dirty car and missing center caps (painting the bowties on them red)

Cold as in 50-70 they are fine.

Cold as in below 50 lol it feels like your on bald tires.
So in other words try to run them during the summer only. But if you dont have much snow where you live you would be fine. They are pretty decent in the rain though!

Honestly good luck! Ive driven in 3-4 inches of snow. your speed will definitely be far less than others around you. It isnt really manageable but you can kinda get around. I dont recommend it though. Though im on 235 which probably doesnt help either. But if your going to be getting snow I recommend staying home! (which is most likely what im going to be doing this week as we have upto an inch of ice and potential for a blizzard here...)
