Tire size question

N55xS54 · 06-04-2017, 12:27 PM

Tire size question. Picking up some Apex EC7 and Federal RSR tires. Wheels are 18x8.5ET45/ 18x9.5ET58...... I am lowered on COBB springs. I do not want to roll the fenders or make any modifications to fit tires. What size is recommended? I am thinking 225-235/265?? Thank you...

Given that you don't want to roll fender or do any other mods, ie. more negative camber. I think 225/255 is the safe bet that you know will fit.

235/265 would probably work, but I'm not 100% on that.

Without camber mods, would not want to run wider than a 225 in front and be safe.
