  • What Size of Tire should I get?

    I want to get a loww Profile look on my car, without having to worry much about rubbing or hurting of my car, I have a wierd combo of tire sizes that you can see in the bottom, but I need to get some new ones, what do you guys recommend??? Remember, I want some nice low profile tires that look good, but arnt to loww, and are wide enough, tell me what sizes are best.

    255-50-ZR16 Kumho's or Yokohama's. they're slightly smaller in diameter than the 235-55's, maybe 1 cm. smaller. they're plenty wide enough. lots of traction even w/o limited slip.

        The reason you haven't got more replies is that you have asked for two things that go directly against each other(low profile tires and no rubbing) and no one knows how to make that call for you. It's like asking for a great handling car, but not changing the ride. It's not going to happen.

        The only way to get both is to use larger diameter wheels with low profile tires. Then you can keep the ride height but the tires look low profile.
