Re: Tires, How Big?
If your worried about rubbing you need to look at side wall height, as well as other things. I had 225/60/16 and they rubbed the front when I made a full turn. The side wall on them was 225 X .6 = 135cm. The stock tire was 215 X .6 = 129 or 235 X .55 = 129.25. Your gonna want to stay in this little figure area or your speedo will be off. I currently have 245/50 on there so the side wall is 122.5. If you went with the 255/50/16 then you would be even closer with 127.5 for your speedo. I diddn't want to spend the money for 255's but if you can I am with hockeyman 100%. Good luck and take some pics when your finished!!! :DOriginally posted by kalaI'll have buttsecks with Richard Simmons!

Re: Tires, How Big?
I have 18x8 wheels, whit LingLong(!) 235/40 in front and Falken 245/35 in the rear, they rubbed just a bit in the rear whit stock shocks.. But whit adjustable Konis, they aint rubbing no more.. :) I still have to lower it a bit though.. I should just doublecheck the dimension of my wheels to see if the profile i wrote is right, but i think its right!
