With RS flares, you should be able to run 225 fronts & 245 rears easily. Perhaps larger, with custom wheels/offsets.

spark plugs ?

Thanks
There are 215/60 actually on the rear and the same on the front (??!!)
i believe the correct size was 215/60 rear
185/70 front, right ?

i was told i should use platinum spark plugs for a 2.7 MFI ?

regards

Phillipe,

Same plug as works in a 2.4S will work in a 2.7RS ... depends on conditions it will be used under. A good starting point would be NGK B8-ES.
