205/40s or 205/45s?

By the way, the fit looks great!

any plans on getting aftermarket struts since the eibach sportlines will wear out the oem ones faster

If someone comes out with any I may. But for now there are no options for us.

Unless you intend to keep your car for a long, long time...perhaps using the OEM struts/shocks till they wear out make more economic sense to me. My guess is the OEM struts/shocks should last at least 30,000 Kms. without any problem.

After all the car is just a daily driver to me at this point in time.

how bad will the tread wear be?
