I love your HRE's im saving to buy the Stern Saleens! :banana:

Thanx man, the only thing that sux is that they've been discontinued for quite some time now so if I F*ck up a wheel I'm looking at an easy $1200 each at my wholesale price. That is unless it's something like a damaged lip then with it being a 3-piece it's a simple fix.

If i go 315/35/17 in the back and 245/45/17 up front is it going to look funny because the difference in height of the sidewall?

Not sure about the 45, I have 245/40/17 up front, and the 315/35/17 rears look bigger for some reason, the sidewall. The Sumitomo 315s hook nicely too.

Just FYI, if you wanna keep the tire heights the same 245/45, 275/40 and 315/35R17 all share the same measurements.

Thanks! That helps alot! I did not know that at all. Thats something i was worried about that the sidewalls would look extremely different.
