The "Will it fit?" thread

I was reading on the Meaty Tire Thread that people were running 275/305 easily. I may be wrong.

255/45/18 and 275/40/18 is what i ran on mine. I work in a tire shop so I read all of Michelin and Bridgestones tire size/width recommendations. Worked out great now that i bought my new wheels and was able to transfer the tires straight over. (Stayed with 18's. 9.5" in front and 10.5" in the rears.) I may go to a 295/35 after i finish this set though.

Bad idea! thats a super tall tire for the 19's and if you ever lower it, you will rub like crazy on the liners. Even at stock height, im sure you will rub. A 255/40/19 and 285/35/19 would be recommended for you. Its still a taller sidewall then stock though but shouldnt cause issues. Either way 10mm wider won't make the tire look too much wider if even noticeable at all. Wheel widths themselves help give you a wider look or if you go atleast a 275 in front and a 295 in the rear.

Stock height
18x9.5 +20
18x10.5 +15

will that tire combination (255/45 and 295/35) work/look good?

Thats my future plan ATM. But I will probably drop down to a 255/40 since I do rub a little on big bumps but we'll see after i re-adjust my camber to where I want them to be and the 255/45 may be just fine. Plus a little less sidewall never hurts in cornering

I haven't been able to find this, so here goes...for multiple reasons I have to stay with the base 18" wheels and want as much rubber under the car as possible and don't want to have to fool with spacers. I'd like to install a tire like the Michelin Pilot, as wide (definitely) and/or tall as possible, and still maintain as much positive handling as possible. Am I asking too much, and should I just stay with stock size tires?

Okay, so I just bought some rims from another member.... Sizes 20x10 +35 and 20x11+35.... couple questions:
1) what, If any, spacers do I need to run?
2) what size tires should I put on the front and back that won't cause any rubbing issues with no fender modification? ( I'm going to drop it an inch or so on springs, and i'd like to run the widest possible tire that I can on the back)

Thanks everyone in advance for your help. I'm far from an expert when it comes to wheel fitment.

Depends what look you are going for.

You should have asked these questions before you bought them.

Also I wouldnt run big spacers with the brand of wheel you bought.

Good luck!

Looking for flush fitment, and the widest functional tires i can put on the front and back without modification to any fenders. The wheels are Varrstoens . . if that matters . . . .
