I say 205-55-16z on the front 225-50-16 z rated on the rear. Tein coil overs with a 2 1/2 inch drop.

Upgraded sway bars and a rebuilt R200 to make it a R200V with 4.086 ring gear.

I think a 255, and a 225 would cause to much understeer for me personally, I would go with a 235/45/17 245/40/17's that what im doing.

suspension... hmmmm

the 240 is already such a great handling car. With only coilovers and sticky tires it H-U-G-S the curves =)

planning on doing road racing? ...get some upgraded swaybars, rollcage, front strut tower bar, LSD... if you have more money get more support bars, TC Rods etc.. Cusco makes alot of suspension stuff.
