Yours are different specs. The rears have less offset and the fronts are wider. Those tires are way to small for those wheels. If that's the crazy look you want then more power to you. I really think anything smaller than a 245 on the rear are going to look ridiculous. Same with the front. I wouldn't go any smaller than 225. Even those are gonna be stretched. You might be able to pull it off with those sizes tires. They'll be stretched a lot. Take your back seat out and try to to have any passengers. Haha. I think it will take fender work though.

The specs are the same as the user giannski though?

Would help if I looked at all the other sizes. Haha. I was just looking at mine. If you look at giannski pic his back tire sticks out pretty good too. He's not lowered though. I'm wondering if he's had any trouble with rubbing on big dips or bumps. Since your lowered you might have trouble. At least some camber work.

Hmm. Weird. In that picture they're definitely sticking out a good bit compared to mine it looks like. I don't have this setup anymore but here's another picture that'll give you a good idea of how it sat. I'll post how factory 261's sit on my car for comparison too.




I was running 225/255. If I could do it again I'd go 225/255. I'll post some links of members who have similar setups.

light stretch + fenders rolling is probably a must if you're lowered. The rear is what's going to give you trouble.

Now I really don't like that stretched look on the rears can I use a 275/35x18 on the rears?

I am surprised no input if I can use a 275 tire?

I think we said before the max your going to be able to get is a 255. With these sizes and offsets I think that's just going to be to much rubber and will rub a lot.
