I want the 245's but I think my offset is not low enough to accommodate that big of a tire. The wheel I'm running is the stock offset.

The Mugen suspension will work on the coupe also. $1200 + shipping($43.53 - $266.57) from Kingmotorsports for the Mugen Sport Suspension.

lemme break it down best i can for ya Jared using this example sizing:
225/40/18

225 = the tread of the tire is 225 millimeters...which is the width of the tire from inner sidewall to outer sidewall

40 = the sidewall will be 40 percent. this number represents the aspect-ratio of width of the tire tread to the corresponding sidewall. in this case the sidewall will be 40% of the width in millimeters of the tread which is 225mm. soooo, 225 x .40 = 90 -- & 225 - 90 = 135. the sidewall of the tire would be 135mm while the tread is 225mm.

18 = diameter of the inner part of the tire which the rim will touch along its circumference.

so in summary:
225 equals the width of the tire measured in "mm."
40 equals the aspect-ratio of the width.
18 equals the diameter of the tire.

^^^^ No, I know what they all mean, but I get confused when it comes to figuring out what specs will give a car a certain look (i.e. what offset will give a flush look for a 17x7 rim compared to one that's 17x8, how wide of a rim to go with a particular offset to get the same kind of look, etc.).

Whats the difference in the MUGEN suspension over the HFP?. It's all still 1" drop.
