Widest possible tires on stock M-package wheels?

WonWunONE · 04-14-2012, 05:30 PM

As the title states what is the widest set up for wheels you can get without rubbing on stock suspension?

255 is for the 8.5 in the rear
265 has been done as well

I should have stated that I am already running 225 front and 255 rear. I'm just wondering if guys have gone bigger on stock suspension and wheels.

im sure you can fit 265 just fine... I have 275 drag radials on 17x8.5 wheel but you can tell there is some sidewall buldge.. prob not the best for performance but it looks mean... Id stick to 265 imo if you go bigger

There was some post with 235 265 but for me tires looks to tall to big. I would leave it 225 255 you won't get much going one bigger size
