am i good for the fronts?

anyway 225/40 is an incorrect size
you can use 225/45 or 235/40

yea 225 is not going to fit on the rear... the rear is 9.5" if i am not wrong... so i am guessing you'll need 245?

I just called up tirerack and ordered a new set based on your feedback. I completely forgot to use the name of the sales guy who posts here..... sorry about that.
