Re: 1997 GSX - DD, RR, and 11's.

Just happened that I put the car up on stands today to start my suspension install. When I noticed the rear diff bushings were in bad shape. Also found I need 2 new front tires. Found a nail in one. But both are down to the wire on the inside edge.
But what's weird is the entire tire looks perfectly straight across its just the rubber on the round edge that's has to be rubbing on something when it took them off it looked like there was plenty of room as they are only 235's. Need to look further into it as the tires actually had a lot of tread left otherwise.
Sad part is my mindset is well I wanted to upgrade to RPF1 18x9 (or 9.5) and RE71s.
So now may be the time. Hoping a 255 will fit. If not will have to do flares or fender roll.

What offsets should I look into +38 for that size I think is the recommendation?
