If you are keeping it stock height, I'm sure 245 will fit. But it will look weird in proprotion. 225/40 for me.

235 or 245 up front but it'll depend on the lowering and wheel offset/width.

The rear might be able to squeeze a 255 but only with a narrower rim and maybe a fender roll. Once again it depends on wheel specs.

235 is probably the best all round wide option without problems.

255s out back on a lowered vehicle. Doubt it. Rolling the fenders mildly doesn't do much. I am nervous about 235s on an 8.5" wheel; I'll find out on Saturday.

I dunno... A set of street driven kumho's on my MK3 lasted me like 6 months... That includes DD driving and 2 autocrosses a month.

don't use good tires for drifting.. use harder rubber. H rating is ok.. (they will last you forever if you drive nice.. but don't grip to save your life.) ZR W and Y are the softest and grippiest of all.. yet don't last very
long.

cheers

the gti mkV is heavy
more tire would def help with traction

yes, lsd would be sweet, but after recently parting out my integra
and seeing how much money I lost

I dunno

I have a quaife in my integra....and its AMAZING what it can do for cornering

but spending $1,000.....im not sure just yet

wide tires....thats fine...i gotta buy tires anyway
