Tires, spacers, and a few questions...
Hi all,
Well, my stock tires are ready for a replacement!
I am set on the Cooper Zeon LTZ but I am not sure which size I want to get.
I thought about just going with the stock 275/60/R20, But I would not mind the 305/50/R20.
My concern is that the smaller sidewall will look too thin with my stock rims and I would lose 1" from the height of the tires. Thoughts?
Also, I am going to put on a 2.5" level for the front. Anyone have a good recommendation to buy them from (brand)? I also considered added additional spacer lift in addition to the level. Maybe 4" in the front, 1.5" in the rear, is that possible? If I lift it that much, do my shocks need to be changed out?
Once it gets lifted a bit, my question goes back to the tires...which fills up the wheelwell better?
Any recommendations would help out. I did search on the forum a bit and there are tons of info all over!
This is my daily and I spend 70% on the highway.

The Search function above in that little black bar across the screen and FAQ section should be your best friends right now. LOTS of info regarding your questions.
real quick...stick with stock size. lifting WILL NOT help the skinnier sidewall. CANNOT go higher than 2.5" up front for a level unless you went for a body lift. Again, lots of threads regarding this stuff. Spend some time and do a little searching as you will find more info than any thing answered in your thread.

Lifting the front alone will hurt your MPG's. higher you go, the worse it will get until a certain point.
