The 20's run 275/40 and 315/35... I am looking at running 275/45 and 315/40 for the 21 inch OE wheels. 275/40/21 and 315/35/21 would fit, but the combo doesn't exist, so the closest I have is 275/45/21 and 315/40/21 for the OE 21 wheels, which may be too big by a little for the front set up due to the control arms. The difference in radius from the stock to my proposed set up is 1.04 inches (1.04 inches closer to the control arms, which is damn close).
