I would go with a 35 or a 315... Would fill out the wheel wells nice!

Going to have to trim the bumper a bit, but if your good you will never notice.

Did you ever get anything going? I just recently did the V/B code mods to my Ex. and really am liking the results.

Total work:

New springs - dealer
New shocks - CT Performance
New swaybar from dealer (and mounting hardware) - dealer
New adjustabel Pan Rod - CT Performance
Front 2" drop hangers - CT Performence

That was pretty much it, if I wanted to stay with the stock tires and wheels, but even putting 285s on there I found out that they rubbed when turning at full lock, sooooo new wheels with more back spacing and neg. offset and 295s.

If you contact Cary at CT Performance - ctperformanceinc@yahoo.com and let him know what you are thinking about he can help you make the decision(s) that work for you. He was a BIGGGGG help with not only deciding what I needed to do but during the install when I had questions.
