Quick question re: tire sizes

jeremydgreat · 05-07-2010, 03:37 PM

Super quick question regarding the stock rims:

I read in the sticky FAQ:

225/40/18 is the widest size that will correctly fit the front 7.5" wheels and 255/35/18 is the widest correct fitting size for the rear 8.5". The sizes both fit the vehicle with no rubbing.

This is for the stock suspension too right? Am I going to run into any issues if I install coilovers later (and keep the stock rims, with these tire sizes)?

It will always depend on how far you lower the vehicle when it comes to clearance issues.
