you think 225's all around? My friend has some 215/35 for the front that I can use. I am more concerned about the rears rubbing or destroying my fenders or something.

That could work too but I was just going off of you saying that you didn't want aggressive stretching. 35 is pretty skinny though so you'd have to slam your car even more to fill the gap. I would go with 215/40.

You could possibly tuck the rears. If I had the same rear specs they would clear the fenders. Mine poke just enough where if my rears compress too much the lip of the wheel will hit the quarter panel.

Just run a 215/40 all around and call it a day. If you're not going to slam it on its nuts, get a 225/40.

One thing you should do is research different brands of tires. Some brands do not stay within the industry standard of the size. IE: some run true to size, some run narrower, and some run wider (for instance, a Bridgestone Potenza RE11 is wider than my Hankook Ventus V12s in the "same size"). Different brands have different stretching and sidewall characteristics as well.

These look really good, if anything get them refinished.
If you can't afford that, paint them silver again, or gunmetal.

Please don't paint them black. lol

Wont' need much work for the coupes... just a fender roll, cut/shave/relocate bumper tab and run a 215/40 or 225/40 all around and you're set!
