I'm still on the stock tire size, but fingers crossed I'll be starting my sfd this weekend. Along with the AC lift coils and some cutting I'm looking to cram in 35s, or maybe 33s if it ends up being really tight. My plan is to see how it drives and go from there. I'm like you in the sense that I'd rather buy new parts and do it right the first time if need be. The way I see it is I want the tire size, and I have acknowledged I may have to fork out more cash for a re-gear so it won't be a surprise or a pain if I end up having to. I'll be sure to post up how it goes for me and what I end up doing.
